Initiating a major literary undertaking, the volume includes a group of hitherto ungathered poems, selections from Ms. Levertov's earliest book, \u003cem\u003eThe Double Image\u003c\/em\u003e (1946), published in London, and her three following collections in their entirety: \u003cem\u003eHere and Now\u003c\/em\u003e (1957), \u003cem\u003eOverland to the Islands\u003c\/em\u003e (1958), and \u003cem\u003eWith Eyes at the Back of Our Heads\u003c\/em\u003e (1960). Living in the United States since the late 1940s, Ms. Levertov has often been associated with the Black Mountain poets, while from the mid- 1960s onward she has been one of the foremost activists in the antiwar and anti-nuclear movements. Yet even in her more \"political\" poems, her dominant perception has continued to be of the intricate beauty, the mystery of life as it is lived. In announcing Ms. Levertov the winner of the 1975 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, Hayden Carruth said of her: \"For twenty-five years Denise Levertov has been one of our most prominent poets... Today she is a woman at the crest of her maturity, acute in perceptions, wise in responses, and an artist, moreover, whose technique has kept pace with her personal development.\" With \u003cem\u003eCollected Earlier Poems 1940-1960\u003c\/em\u003e, readers have the opportunity of following Ms. Levertov's remarkable poetic development from its very beginnings.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Collected Earlier Poems 1940-1960 | Denise Levertov | Paperback | 9780811207188 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1615488","offer_id":48712623456408,"sku":"1615488","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61RQYuB4QQL.jpg?v=1773786761","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/collected-earlier-poems-1940-1960","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
