With thousands of cloth copies already sold, we are pleased to now offer a paperbook edition. Few poets have possessed so great a gift or so great a body of work -- when she died at 74, she had been a published poet for more than half a century. Although the poems of This Great Unknowing have not been organized with the incredible care Denise Levertov exerted on the more than twenty collections she published with New Directions in her lifetime, the poems themselves shine with the artistry of a writer at the height of her powers. |
