⁠
The poetry of Larry Levis increasingly occupies a legendary place of reverence among poets and readers—the spell of his reputation only continuing to widen in the thirty years since his death. SWIRL & VORTEX at last makes all of Levis’s poetry available in one definitive volume. This collection includes the five books published in Levis’s lifetime, a brilliant reconfiguration of Levis’s posthumous books, and unpublished late poems, edited and with an afterword by David St. John. It's an essential collection by one of the great poets of the end of the twentieth century, and a transformative work spiraling out toward our future.

New poem by Leah Naomi Green in The Nation Magazine ✨

"Stay with her.
Your pain, I mean.

Your pain is in pain. She is
anthropomorphizing
herself. She has nothing to eat but story,

and nowhere to rest."
