May Day

<b>A sensuous and musical new collection from acclaimed poet Phillis Levin</b> <p/> <i>May Day</i> is a work of a visionary imagination. In tones playful and celebratory in gestures both intimate and international Levin's poems explore how tenderness and violence change our lives. From a flood overtaking the Prague zoo to the joy of a maypole dance from a mural of the Trojan War in a Greek diner in New York to the noiseless explosions of time in the opening of a flower these poems are rhapsodies of the senses and the intellect disclosing new thresholds of meaning.
