1978/1991. Introduced by Stanley Plumly (1978). "Levine's work has always carried potent undertones, and he's one of America's strongest readers."--Library Journal
"What makes Philip Levine unique among our poets," offers Stanley Plumly in his introduction to the 1978 reading, "is his intensity. Almost every line he writes, whether in a love poem or elegy, celebration or fierce complaint, is about justice." The poems from the 1991 reading are from The Simple Truth, for which Levine received the 1994 Pulitzer Prize. Also included is "You Can Have It." Length: 57 min. |
