As the book's title implies, the poems in Robert Levine's Mystical
Symphony explore sensing, losing, and recovering subtle, intangible
connections in the world around us. Their speakers wrestle with
their place in and relationship with love, family, nature, current
events, faith--and, most of all, themselves. Sometimes Levine
embodies this theme in the formal harmony of rhyme and meter, in
other instances in the looser cadences of free verse. He can
consider these ""mystical"" connections in fittingly hermetic
style, but also adopts a more straightforward--yet nonetheless
lyrical--voice elsewhere in the collection. Mystical Symphony
offers no tricks or formulae for eliciting or sustaining these
connections; they remain elusive, evanescent flashes of
serendipitous grace. But it concludes with the comfort that, thanks
to the memory of experiencing them, ""nothing can take their
blessing from me/even after they fly away in my heart.""
