Breathing the Water

"Levertov's master--more than mastery, because she is one of the originators--of contemporary poetic form, informed with a fierce, generous intelligence, can be frightening." -Ursula Le Guin, Washington Post

Arranged in seven parts and culminating in the superb "The Showings: Lady Julian of Norwich," Breathing the Water draws the readers deep into spiritual domains--not in order to leave the world behind, but to reanimate our sometimes dormant love for it.
