Acknowledgement, and celebration, of mystery probably constitutes the most consistent theme of my poetry from its very beginnings. Because it is a matter of which I am conscious, it is possible, however imprecisely, to call it an intellectual position; but it is one which emphasizes the incapacity of reason alone (much though I delight in elegant logic) to comprehend experience, and considers Imagination the chief of human faculties. It must therefore be by the exercise of that faculty that one moves toward faith, and possibly by its failure that one rejects it as delusion.

The Fountain Don't say, don't say there is no water to solace the dryness at our hearts. I have seen the fountain springing out of the rock wall and you drinking there. And I too before your eyes found footholds and climbed to drink the cool water. The woman of that place, shading her eyes, frowned as she watched-but not because she grudged the water, only because she was waiting to see we drank our fill and were refreshed. Don't say, don't say there is no water. That fountain is there among its scalloped green and gray stones, it is still there and always there with its quiet song and strange power to spring in us, up and out through the rock. ~ Denise Levertov ~ Poems 1960-1967 Web archive of Panhala postings: www.panhala.net/Archive/Index.html To subscribe to Panhala, send a blank email to Panhala-subscribe@yahoogroups.com To unsubscribe from Panhala, send a blank email to Panhala-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com music link (left button to play, right button to save)

NEW HOPE INTERNATIONAL REVIEW An independent small press poetry review DENISE LEVERTOV: NEW SELECTED POEMS Bloodaxe Books Highgreen Tarset Northumberland UK ISBN 1 85224 653 7 email Bloodaxe Books visit the website of Bloodaxe Books Web design by This page last updated: 11th December 2007. DENISE LEVERTOV: NEW SELECTED POEMS Denise Levertov (1923-1997) was a tireless writer of poetry and prose over six decades and had two dozen anthologies published. She was considered an important voice in the American avant-garde of her time. NEW SELECTED POEMS highlights all her major work except her last two anthologies, THE LIFE AROUND US and THE STREAM AND THE SAPPHIRE. Inclusions here offer a fine example of 157 poems in chronological order. Kenneth Rexroth wrote that she more than anyone, led the redirection of American poetry. . . to the mainstream of world literature. Her wide-ranging topics fall into various categories: Avant garde and Experimental, Modernist, Nature and Environment, Philosophical, Political and Social, Religious and Spiritual. A word about the cover, it is awful. The unflattering photograph of the poet was taken when she was probably in her twenties or thirties. It makes her look pale and washed out. She is wearing red with severe black, neither of which suit her. While researching links for this review I've seen pictures of her as an older, more mature woman, any of which would have made a far better picture for the cover.

Carol Peters Friday, December 21, 2007 Denise Levertov Woman Alone When she cannot be sure which of two lovers it was with whom she felt this or that moment of pleasure, of something fiery streaking from head to heels, the way the white flame of a cascade streaks a mountainside seen from a car across a valley, the car changing gear, skirting a precipice, climbing . . . When she can sit or walk for hours after a movie talking earnestly and with bursts of laughter with friends, without worrying that it's late, dinner at midnight, her time spent without counting the change . . . When half her bed is covered with books and no one is kept awake by the reading light and she disconnects the phone, to sleep till noon . . . Then selfpity dries up, a joy untainted by guilt lifts her. She has fears, but not about loneliness; fears about how to deal with the aging of her body how to deal with photographs and the mirror. She feels so much younger and more beautiful than she looks. At her happiest or even in the midst of some less than joyful hour, sweating patiently through a heatwave in the city or hearing the sparrows at daybreak, dully gray
