Winter Stars (Pitt Poetry Series)
by Larry Levis
On This Page
Description
Since the appearance of his first book in 1972, Larry Levis has been one of the most original and most highly praised of contemporary American poets. In Winter Stars, a book of love poems and elegies, Levis engages in a process of relentless self-interrogation about his life, about losses and acceptances. What emerges is not merely autobiography, but a biography of the reader, a "representative life" of our time.Tags

Winter Stars blends an intense immediacy of naturalistic images with a surrealist wandering. I felt like I was traversing a narrow path being led by light and echos from the past.
The poems are as alive on the page as if they were being spoken.
Some really incredible poems in here. Definitely going to reread, and then again (and maybe again...)
