Poems by Denise Levertov The Great Black Heron An excerpt from "Mass for the Day of St. Thomas Didymus" Ikon: The Harrowing of Hell St, Peter and the Angel ... Annunciation The Great Black Heron Since I stroll in the woods more often than on this frequented path, it's usually trees I observe; but among fellow humans what I like best is to see an old woman fishing alone at the end of a jetty, hours on end, plainly content. The Russians mushroom-hunting after a rain trail after themselves a world of red sarafans nightingales , samovars, stoves to sleep on though without doubt those are not what they can remember). Vietnamese families fishing or simply sitting as close as they can to the water, make me recall that lake in Hanoi in the amber light, our first, jet-lagged evening, peace in the war we had come to witness. This woman engaged in her pleasure evokes an entire culture, tenacious field-flower growing itself among the rows of cotton in red-earth country, under the feet of mules and masters. I see her a barefoot child by a muddy river learning her skill with the pole. What

Denise Levertov (b. 1923) Contributing Editor: Joan F. Hallisey Classroom Issues and Strategies With an adequate introduction to her life and works, Denise Levertov is not a difficult author. Levertov can best be made accessible to students when they are familiar with the poet's own prose reflections on poetry, the role of the poet, and "notes" on organic form. You might prepare an introduction to her work by making reference to her quite precise discussion of these themes in The Poet in the World Light Up the Cave (1982); and New and Selected Essays Consider using tapes of Levertov reading her own poetry. The most recent cassette, "The Acolyte" (Watershed), contains a fine sampling from her earlier poetry through Oblique Prayers . Encourage students to listen both to her poetry readings and interviews and to incorporate information from them in class or seminar discussions and presentations or as material for research papers. When students are doing a class presentation, strongly urge them to be certain that their classmates have copies of the poems they will be discussing. Students respond favorably to Levertov's conviction that the poet writes more than "[she] knows." They also respond positively to the fact that an American woman "engaged" poet has spoken out strongly on women's rights, peace and justice issues, race, and other questions on human rights.

Or Rilke said it, 'My heart. . . Could I say of it, it overflows with bitterness . . . but no, as though its contents were simply balled into formless lumps, thus do I carry it about.' The same war continues. We have breathed the grits of it in, all our lives, our lungs are pocked with it, the mucous membrane of our dreams coated with it, the imagination filmed over with the gray filth of it: the knowledge that humankind, delicate Man, whose flesh responds to a caress, whose eyes are flowers that perceive the stars

Awards Calendar Journal Poetry in Motion ... Resources Tribute: Denise Levertov Back In the following essay, Robert Creeley honors his beloved friend and fellow poet Denise Levertov, who died at the age of 74 on December 23, 1997. Hard to believe we met about fifty years ago in New York, when she and Mitch had first married and she had returned from Europe with him in the classic manner to start her own life over again. Certainly as a poet she had to. The distance between her first book, The Double Image , and the second, Here and Now , published by City Lights in its Pocket Poets series ten years later, is a veritable quantum leap. Kenneth Rexroth, editing The New British Poets for New Directions, thought her most able and, when he saw her, declared her Dante's Beatrice incarnate. W. C. Williams, writing of "Mrs. Cobweb" in Here and Now , said that one can't really tell if she's utterly virginal or if she has been on the town for years and years. Everyone was intrigued! Was it Denise's long training as a dancer, when she was a child, that gave her such particularity of movementher phrase and line shifting with the fact of her emotion, the rhythms locating each word? In a sense she was a wide-awake dreamer; a practical visionary with an indomitable will; a passionate, whimsical heart committed to an adamantly determined mind. It wasn't simply that Denise was right. It was that her steadfast commitments could accommodate no error. Back in the States, then to Mexico, as I also shifted about to Black Mountainthen to New Mexico, Guatemala, and CanadaMitch's and Denise's son Nick grew and grew, as our own children did.

33. Gifts Of Speech - Denise Levertov May 1972 Note by denise levertov The following statement was written in response to an invitation to comment on any topic, e.g., poetry, women, http://gos.sbc.edu/l/levertov2.html

Statement For A Television Program by Denise Levertov American Poet May 1972 Note by Denise Levertov: The following statement was written in response to an invitation to "comment on any topic, e.g., poetry, women, the war," on a program taped weekly by a major TV network (NBC). I could not in these times choose any "topic" but the war; however, my text (which had to be submitted a week before being tapedand which was written during the interval between Nixon's two televised speeches in May 1972was rejected). "I feel," wrote the producer, "that, deep as my own emotions are about this futile war, it would be inappropriate for me to use it at this time. My decision is shaped not by your pieceyou write so very movinglybut by the number of Vietnam statements we have already had on the program. They cover a wide range of attitudes and angles, and with them I effected a coverage and balance which I think best to let stand." It seems to me that a "balanced" view of genocide and of actions which are leading directly toward the extinction of life on earth is itself a kind of insanity. It is evident, moreover, that a program that first invites people to speak on whatever they feel it is important to say, and then rejects their words in the name of "balanced coverage," is a little short on sincerity. Here is my statement: I have been asked to speak on this program because I am a poet. One of the obligations of the writer, and perhaps especially of the poet, is to say or sing

`Socially committed' poet Denise Levertov dies at 74 published in the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, December 30, 1997 SEATTLE (AP) Denise Levertov, a major American poet who took up such social and political issues as the Vietnam War and the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, has died at 74. Levertov died Saturday at Swedish Hospital from complications of lymphoma. Influenced by William Carlos Williams and other American poets, Levertov's style evolved from traditional English to free-form. She addressed political and social themes, such as war, the environment and feminism, in an intense, lyrical voice. "She had this sort of singular and pure commitment of the kind I've never known of. She had this tenderness and kindness to animals and children, and she had this very strong attachment to nature," said Barbara Epler, Levertov's editor since the mid-1980s at New Directions, her longtime publisher. "She was really socially committed. It was important to her to go and protest at nuclear sites," she said. "She also protested the Vietnam War. She really put her money where her mouth was. It's like she was very 19th century with her vision of what poetry was and how total a calling it was."
