This book examines the issues that drew Levertov and Duncan together, and split them apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is a companion to Stanford University Press's \u003ci\u003eThe Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov\u003c\/i\u003e, and will greatly amplify the value of \u003ci\u003eThe Letters\u003c\/i\u003e. One of the truly impressive aspects of the present volume is the admirable even-handedness with which the two poets are treated. This volume does one complex thing and does it very well: it makes the conflict between Levertov and Duncan come alive in the fullness of its political and poetic implications. It also makes a signal contribution by engaging with the huge Duncan-Levertov correspondence and demonstrating what a rich treasure trove it is. This study will be the definitive treatment of a very significant controversy.\"—Stephen Fredman, University of Notre Dame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Preface\tiii  @toc1:Part I  @toc2:1\tDecision at the Apogee: Robert Duncan's Anarchist Critique of Denise Levertov\t0  @tau:Robert J.
