A review by eggmama
Elegy by Larry Levis

I saw the poem "Boy in Video Arcade" on Twitter and loved it, so I bought this collection. On the whole, I was a bit disappointed, as I didn't like the rest of the poems as much as I thought I would. However, there were some really lovely lines and images. I think it's interesting that these poems were published after his death and unedited - I'm curious to know what he would have changed / how he would have revised them.

My favorites:
- Boy in Video Arcade
- Elegy with a Thimbleful of Water in the Cage
- Elegy Ending in the Sound of a Skipping Rope
