I had the privilege of hearing him read a few of his poems a couple nights ago at the Univ. of MDCP and he was captivating. I look forward to poring over his work and recapturing what I felt that night.

I discovered Philip Levine while surfing the Atlantic Monthly (or is it just called Atlantic?) website. Two of his poems really spoke to me: He would Never Use One Word Where None Would Do and The Return. I especially liked He would Never Use One Word Where None Would Do because at the time I was dealing with someone who talked non-stop about every intimate detail of his life- and it drove me crazy.

Levine is one of the most lively poets whose books I've read or who I've heard read in person. His Detroit steel background melds with the tough-soft potrayals of characters, dialogue, and vivid settings. Like a good short story with a beginning, middle, and end, Levine leaves the reader feeling complete. Philip Levine
