How splendid and impressive to have a complete, clear, and
unobstructed view of Denise Levertov. Covering more than six
decades and including, chronologically, every poem she ever
published, Levertov’s Collected Poems presents her marvelous,
groundbreaking work in full. Born in England, Denise Levertov
emigrated in 1948 to the United States, where she was acclaimed by
Kenneth Rexroth in The New York Times as “the most subtly
skillful poet of her generation, the most profound, the most
modest, the most moving.” A staunch anti-war activist and
environmentalist, and the winner of the Robert Frost Medal, the
Shelley Memorial Award, and the Lannan Prize, Denise Levertov
inspired generations of writers. New Directions is proud to publish
this landmark collected poems of one of the twentieth century’s
greatest poets.

This new, comprehensive selection of one of America's foremost
modern poets draws on two dozen collections published over six
decades. Edited by Paul A. Lacey, it replaces her earlier Bloodaxe
Selected Poems (1986), and includes selections from both her
earlier work and from the six later collections published by
Bloodaxe in Britain, from Oblique Prayers to the posthumously
published Sands of the Well and This Great Unknowing. Preface by
Robert Creeley.
Culled from two dozen poetry books, and drawing from six decades of
her writing life, The Selected Poems of Denise Levertov offers a
chronological overview of her great body of work. It is splendid
and impressive to have at last a clear, unobstructed view of her
ground-breaking poetry -- the work of a poet who, as Kenneth
Rexroth put it, "more than anyone, led the redirection of American
poetry...to the mainstream of world literature."
