Denise Levertov has been called 'America's foremost contemporary woman poet'. She has published 20 books, including her Selected Poems and her last collection Oblique Prayers from Bloodaxe in Britain. And yet her latest collection - published some 30 years after her first - contains poems which are probably the freshest and most questioning she has written. Levertov has long been known for her remarkable political poetry, and in America for her political campaigning as well. This new book contains some of her most powerful political poems. But it also takes the reader from public issues back to the most personal, spiritual concerns. The poems are lit with Levertov's spiritual awareness and glow with her joy in the physical world, her awe and wonder in creation. They warn against our failure to respond to that beauty. They tell us not to acquiesce, not to allow ourselves to be duped or dulled. Levertov's voice is not a lone cry but a call to sanity. To read and hear her in these poems is to share her vision. Breathing the Water is a book to give us hope.
