A review by dilan11
Elegy by Larry Levis
5.0
A poet of images, beautiful, concrete, surprising images.
And the voice, the voice has authority so that the reader sits up and listens. Try reading them aloud - the music of them entrances even when the meaning is not clear. I love "The Cook Grew Lost in His Village, the Village in the Endless Shuffling of Their Cards" poem.
Ultimately it is about death and how prescient is that considering Mr. Levis died unexpectedly in the middle of composing these poems.
I was moved in a way that only the best poetry can.
