About the Author

Philip Levine was born in 1928 in Detroit. He has received numerous awards for his poetry, including the National Book Award for What Work Is and the Pulitzer Prize for The Simple Truth. He divides his time between Fresno, California, and Brooklyn, New York.

Reviews

“All the earmarks of a valedictory testament, what with its autumnal ruminations on personal history and its haunted remembrances of things past, yet Levine is too canny a craftsman to settle for dutiful curtain calls, and too much the hard-bitten ironist to fall prey to false nostalgia. If certain obsessions here are bound to strike longtime readers as old news (innocence and experience, manual labor and class struggle), the visceral language that fleshes the poems out still feels hot off the press.” —David Barber, The Boston Globe
