	Renascence: Entering no-man's-land: The recent religious poetry of Denise Levertov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While Levertov's early poetry expressed her appreciation of nature and of the epiphanic moments of daily life, during the late 1960s her work became increasingly concerned with political and social causes.
		While Levertov has always insisted upon the connectedness of public and private spheres, the tumult over her political work in the 1960s and 1970s damaged her poetic reputation and obscured the cohesiveness and integrity of her work.
		Levertov's Christian poems explore the paradox of being and nothingness, wrestle with uncertainty and doubt, and search for "fragments of light" embedded in the darkness.

	Denise Levertov Review
		Yet corny as it might be, I grieved over the 1997 death of Denise Levertov--and not just because new poems won’t be spilling forth from her soul to startle me with her vision.
		This is a surprising collection of Levertov’s poems about faith and the spiritual life--surprising, for Levertov was a woman whom I had thought least likely to have anything to do with religion.
		Levertov’s spirit, living on through these religious poems, communicates something true to me and about me. They enable me to perceive, for a moment anyway, the divine spark that is both within and without--that is, the source and goal of all life.

		enise Levertov, who died on December 20, 1997, was much loved by her readers and an inspiration to several generations of poets.
		Like her mentor, William Carlos Williams, Levertov excelled at the direct presentation of the object, and yet she went further, endowing such objects with rich metaphorical significance.
		Levertov still retained British mannerisms—a soft English accent, a humorous, conspiratorial tone, and a preference for Earl Grey tea with milk and sugar, which she served throughout our talk.

	Book Review - The Stream and the Sapphire by Denise Levertov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		British-born, Levertov was unencumbered by formal education and learned to leverage not only a richly diverse personal and cultural past but a political and religious one as contradictory.
		Except that for Levertov, ordained father notwithstanding, her "ultimate" end was decidedly NOT known and these poems dating from 1978 tell less a journey from, in her words, "agnosticism to Christian faith," than a search erratic, confusing, bewildering, frustrating; one which had more than a few ditches and dead-ends.
		Levertov wrote many poems about nature tame and wild, about art from the Greeks to the Impressionists, about the depths and the artists.

		Was it Denise's long training as a dancer, when she was a child, that gave her such particularity of movement--her phrase and line shifting with the fact of her emotion, the rhythms locating each word?

		Denise Levertov, who among other things had a great ear for epigraphs, cites this at the beginning of her poem "Joy".
		Levertov's response to these questions was, as she saw it, to set the unimportant things aside.
		Some time after the war Levertov converted to Catholicism, proceeding to write, in the 1980s, a series of religious poems that tend to fail in the way her political poems tended to fail, because again she inhabits pre-established rhetorics and form.
