A doctor contemplates Lenin's embalmed body; two angels flank an
open chest during a heart transplant; a father's anger turns into a
summer thunderstorm... Each of Levin's poems is an astonishing
investigation of human darkness, propelled by a sensuous syntax and
a desire for healing.
"This is the language of a prophet: Levin's art, in this book
certainly, takes place in a kind of mutating day of judgment: it
means to wipe a film from our eyes. It is a dare, a challenge, and,
for all its considerable beauty, the opposite of the
seductive...Sensuous, compassionate, violent, extravagant: what an
amazing debut this is, a book of terrors and marvels."-Louise
