I love Denise Levertov and am consistently delighted the deeper I dive into her work. My favorite poem by her is “The Stricken Children” (Breathing the Water).

Oh my, I found it and read it. "Children who don't dream." Heart-breaking.

Another lover of Denise Levertov! Welcome! Isn’t she amazing? I will look up that poem right away! Yes, the deeper I go, the more delighted I am. I would have liked to meet her, but I’m grateful for the decades of work she gave us that allow me to walk beside her mind.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I clearly needed to be introduced to Levertov and will nerd out on her work and life along with you ✨💓

Anne, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy reading about her work and life. She is a gem. I could have written about 50 of her poems. It was hard to choose just a few. Let the co-nerding out journey begin!
