Philip Levine eulogized Larry Levis by calling him "the most gifted and determined young poet I have ever had the good fortune to have in one of my classes... His early death is a staggering loss for our poetry, but what he left is a major achievement." This revised edition has been expanded to include selections from Elegy, Levis's last collection, and presents a full overview of his brilliant career. Book jacket.
