This collection of poems was written in the six years following the publication of Levis' book "The Widening Spell of the Leaves" and is published posthumously. It continues and extends jazz improvisations and culminates in the elegies written to a world of fragmented culture.
In this posthumously collected volume of his prose, the late poet Larry Levis recalls growing up on his family farm and coming of age during the Vietnam War. Critical reflections on Philip Levine and others are also included.
The author of collection book of poems has contributed frequently to "American Poetry Review", "Antaeus" and "Field". His previous books include "Wrecking Crew", which won the Lamont award of the Academy of American Poets, the "Dollmaker's Ghost", and "Winter Stars"
