Making Peace - Poems

BY DENISE LEVERTOV, EDITED BY PEGGY ROSENTHAL

Brief Description:
Making Peace collects Levertov's finest poems about war and peace, subjects which she addresses with passion and nuance. Spanning the last three decades of her life, their subjects range from Vietnam to the death-squads of El Salvador to the first Gulf War. Often brutally vivid-in "The Certainty" she writes, "war / means blood spilling from living bodies"-Levertov's poems always have at their core her love for humanity, even as she registers her horror at what humans do to one another.
