Poetry. Winner of the APR Honickman 1st Book Award. A doctor contemplates Lenin's embalmed body; two angels flank an open chest during a heart transplant; a father's anger turns into a summer thunderstorm... Each of Levin's poems is an astonishing investigation of human darkness, propelled by a sensuous syntax and a desire for healing. "This is the language of a prophet: Levin's art, in this book certainly, takes place in a kind of mutating day of judgment: it means to wipe a film from our eyes. It is a dare, a challenge, and, for all its considerable beauty, the opposite of the seductive... Sensuous, compassionate, violent, extravagant: what an amazing debut this is, a book of terrors and marvels"--Louise Gluck, from the Introduction.
