While a fraction of a star less impressive than Winter Stars, still an incredible work of perfectly manipulated language.

"Whose childhood is no more than a blackened rafter,/Something left after fire has swept through it?"

The best poems knocked me off my feet. The rest were admirable but not poems I would return to with much eagerness.

Poetry is subjective. Hell, my reviews are subjective because I enjoy stuff that others may not enjoy. It's always hard for me to review poetry. I like modern free verse poetry that tell a story. Larry Levis is a storyteller worth knowing.
