Robert Duncan And Denise Levertov The Poetry of Politics, the Politics of Poetry

" This book is a companion to Stanford University Press' s The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov, and will greatly amplify the value of The Letters. One of the truly impressive aspects of the present volume is the admirable even-handedness with which the two poets are treated. This volume does one complex thing and does it very well: it makes the conflict between Levertov and Duncan come alive in the fullness of its political and poetic implications. It also makes a signal contribution by engaging with the huge Duncan-Levertov correspondence and demonstrating what a rich treasure trove it is. This study will be the definitive treatment of a very significant controversy." -- Stephen Fredman, University of Notre DameBertholf, Robert J. is the author of 'Robert Duncan And Denise Levertov The Poetry of Politics, the Politics of Poetry', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804751315 and ISBN 0804751315.
