Just one further thought on Levis, since there has been a good deal of talk about Sylvia Plath & the confessional mode in recent threads. I think Levis takes what is good from the (so-called) confessional school of Am. poetry, but finds both an objective & a moral world in which to set his personal revelations. The poem Candice mentions about the trees is a good example, but his work presents many other examples. ________________________ Joseph Duemer School of Liberal Arts-5750 Clarkson University Potsdam NY 13699 [log in to unmask] ________________________ "Always come down from the barren heights of cleverness into the green valleys of folly." ::Wittgenstein %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
