"Levertov’s mastery—more than mastery, because she is one of the originators—of contemporary poetic form, informed with a fierce, generous intelligence, can be frightening" -- Ursula K. Le Guin
"Denise Levertov was musical, fierce, absolute in her honesty, and, for us, her public, as indispensable as any modern poet. To young writers asking for direction, Denise Levertov’s name comes to my tongue, always, among the very first of our important forebears. Her work was, and is, a brave gift to us all." -- Mary Oliver
"A purely numinous and transcendent poetry where subject and object seem one and divinely inspired. Long recognized as one of our best and most influential poets, Levertov is nonetheless seriously undervalued." -- Publishers Weekly
