One of the truly impressive aspects of the present volume is the admirable even-handedness with which the two poets are treated. This volume does one complex thing and does it very well: it makes the conflict between Levertov and Duncan come alive in the fullness of its political and poetic implications. It also makes a signal contribution by engaging with the huge Duncan-Levertov correspondence and demonstrating what a rich treasure trove it is. This study will be the definitive treatment of a very significant controversy."--Stephen Fredman, University of Notre Dame<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book is a companion to Stanford University Press's <i>The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov</i>, and will greatly amplify the value of <i>The Letters</i>.
