Selected poems / Denise Levertov ; with a preface by Robert Creeley ; edited and with an afterword by Paul A. Lacey - New York : New Directions Pub. Corp. , 2002. - xvi, 220 p. ; 20 cm.

Includes index.

Culled from two dozen poetry books, and drawing from six decades of her writing life, The Selected Poems of Denise Levertov offers a chronological overview of her great body of work. It is splendid and impressive to have at last a clear, unobstructed view of her ground-breaking poetry -- the work of a poet who, as Kenneth Rexroth put it, "more than anyone, led the redirection of American poetry...to the mainstream of world literature."
