Larry Levis CD: 1978

Price:	$9.00

Snow, lullabye, anvil of bone / that terrifies the blacksmith in his sleep, / your house is breath.

About Levis's work, poet Robert Mezey has said, "Larry Levis writes a poetry that is full of surprises. Not the predictable and boring surprises that can be created by formula, but the nourishing shock of fresh ideas that rise from the work of the true poet."

"Levis is not interested in metaphorical equuivalence," wrote poet Tony Hoagland, "in comparison as a device whose goal is logical coherence, or persuasion, or concentration; rather, his practice is to use image as a form of inquiry, as a kind of tentative, speculating finger poking into the unknown."

1978. Introduced by Thomas Lux.
