This collection of essays, written for this volume and often using
unpublished and archival materials, converges around the usually
close and intense relationship between Robert Duncan and Denise
Levertov, two of the most important and remarkable American poets
in the second half of the twentieth century. Their association,
played out in their poems and in an extraordinary exchange of
letters, was based on a sense of the visionary imagination
informing the direction and shape of the poet. However, they had a
falling out during the Vietnam crisis over the relationship between
poetry and politics, between the private and public
responsibilities of the poet. Such issues are vital not only to
their poetry and the poetry of that period but to contemporary
poetry as well. A distinguished group of critics, led by Albert
Gelpi and Robert J. Bertholf, examines the issues that drew
Levertov and Duncan together, and split them apart, in a book that
has the openness and coherence of an urgent, contemporary dialogue
about the form and meaning of poetry.
