“this need to dance / this need to kneel”

Arts & Literature

“These essential essays, richly varied and focused, explore the range and depth of Levertov’s life, her movement towards a faith necessary to her being, and her work as activist and poet. The essays cover much that has not been defined before and shine a clear light on the poems that place Levertov at the forefront of the poetry of faith. A book for anyone interested in the continuing worth, in our troubled times, of great poetry.”
