Book Launch: Swirl & Vortex by Larry Levis, David St. John & David L. Ulin

Reading + Q&A Celebrating the Legacy of Larry Levis Swirl & Vortex at last makes all of Levis’s poetry available in one definitive volume. This collection includes the five books published in Levis’s lifetime, a brilliant reconfiguration of Levis’s posthumous books, and unpublished late poems, edited and with an afterword by David St. John. To trace Levis’s poetic development into his extraordinary “late style of fire”—cut short by his early death—is one of the singular experiences in contemporary poetry. Swirl & Vortex is an essential collection by one of the great poets of the end of the twentieth century, and a transformative work spiraling out toward our future. Join us for a reading, and a Q&A between editor David St. John and author, David L. Ulin. Book signings to follow.
