A Poetic Review by: Rodger Lowenthal

.

 Plunge into delicious

autobiography   Levin takes a chance

backs away carefully

intuitively alert to motive

and the responsibility of impulse

.

Reading For A Lamprey it is

easy to foresee Levin identifying

with the lamprey “much I am

 like you”  From The House

on Blackberry Lane

emerges antagonizing bliss

a light tone fails

to conceal dark feelings

.

The Lilith poems sparkle

with a joy of discovery and

down home philosophy:

“either change your life or accept your life

but don’t go around mad.”

and “I have an excellent homing device

for error.”

.

With a fencer’s celerity

Levin touches her reader

again and again

Be one of them
