Book Reviews of Winter Stars (Pitt Poetry Series)
Book Review: Constellations
Summary: 5 Stars
Levis has a way of writing about himself but connecting to the reader, and is an extremely gifted poet. The poems are devastatingly surprising, the language fresh, the imagery sharp. In `Poet at 17' Levis captures well the energetic recklessness and immortal feeling of youth, and juxtaposes it in perfect contrast to the fearful stasis of adulthood. I notice by the second poem the idiosyncratic use of & for and. I didn't notice it at first, so he employs it naturally and stamps himself into the poems. Levis has a place in history as a poet.
