Edited and with an Afterword by David St. John When Larry Levis
died suddenly in 1996, Philip Levine wrote that he had years
earlier recognized Levis as \u201cthe most gifted and determined
young poet I have ever had the good fortune to have in one of my
classes. . . . His early death is a staggering loss for our poetry,
but what he left is a major achievement that will enrich our
lives.\u201d Each of his books was published to wide critical
acclaim, and David St. John has collected together the best of his
work from his first five books: Wrecking Crew (1972), Afterlife
(1976), The Dollmaker’s Ghost (1981), Winter Stars (1985) and The
Widening Spell of the Leaves (1991). \u201cIt is not an
exaggeration to say that the death of Larry Levis in 1996—of a
heart attack at 49—sent a shock wave through the ranks of
American poetry. Not only was Levis a good friend to many poets
(not simply of his own generation but of many poets older and
younger as well), his poetry had become a kind of touchstone for
many of us, a source of special inspiration and awe. With Larry
Levis’ death came the sense that an American original had been
lost. . . . It is not at all paradoxical that he saw both the most
intimate expressions of poetry and the grandest gestures of art, of
language, as constituting individual acts of courage. One can only
hope that, like such courage, Larry Levis’s remarkable poems will
continue to live far into our literature.\u201d—from the
Afterword, by David St. John
