Henry Taylor PHILIP LEVINE Breakfasts with Joachim Sunday morning at Mel's Country Kitchen, the place quiet, the locals bowing to their heaped plates, Joachim let go with, "The Jews done it!" A dozen forks clattered, the place grew eerie, and then he added in fake Okie, "Moses went up that hill to bring back God's word for us here." Everyone went back to stuffing their faces; Joachim nibbled on dry toast and sipped his unsweetened tea. Why he wanted people to think he was a gun-toting redneck I never knew. Except for his time in Spain I doubted he'd fired a gun. He wouldn't talk about those years except to say, only once, "I was just a kid looking for adventure." I found his name in an obscure history of the Lincoln Brigade: "Joachim Barron, missing in action, Teruel, 1937,"

After a succession of industrial jobs, he left the country before settling in Fresno, California, where he taught at the university there until his retirement. He has received many awards for his books of poems, most recently the National Book Award in 1991 for What Work Is , and the Pulitzer Prize in 1995 for The Simple Truth Philip Levine's new collection of poems (his first since The Simple Truth was awarded the Pulitzer Prize) is a book of journeys: the necessary ones that each of us takes from innocence to experience, from youth to age, from confusion to clarity, from sanity to madness and back again, from life to death, and occasionally from defeat to triumph. The book's mood is best captured in the closing lines of the title poem, which takes its name from the ship that brought the poet's mother to America: A nine-year-old girl travels all night by train with one suitcase and an orange.

Philip Levine Clouds Above the Sea by Philip Levine My father and mother, two tiny figures, side by side, facing the clouds that move in from the Atlantic. August, '33. The whole weight of the rain to come, the weight of all that has fallen on their houses gathers for a last onslaught, and yet they hold, side by side, in the eye of memory. What was she wearing, you ask, what did he say to make the riding clouds hold their breath? Our late August afternoons were chilly in America, so I shall drape her throat in a silken scarf above a black dress. I could give her a rope of genuine pearls as a gift for bearing my father's sons, and let each pearl glow with a child's fire. I could turn her toward you now with a smile so that we might joy in her constancy, I could bury the past in dust rising, dense rain falling, and the absence of sky so that you could turn this page and smile. My father and mother, two tiny figures

Philip Levine's 15th collection of poetry, The Simple Truth , won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize. Publishers Weekly praised The Simple Truth by noting "the 'simplicity' of his language, offering an ease of approach to us, seems to give truth (and poetry) to everyone." Levine's poetry is grounded in the harsh reality of contemporary life. He describes his poetry as an attempt to create "a voice for the voiceless." His acclaimed early volumes include Not This Pig They Feed They Lion Ashes (1979), which received the American Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and 7 Years From Somewhere (1979) which also received the National Book Critics Circle Award. He also has written The Bread of Time: Toward an Autobiography (1994), nine essays which focus on a particular person or place important in the author's life. "one of our quintessentially urban poets."

Classical Recreational Activities Spectator Sports Philip Levine Obsessed with Detroit Though Levine taught for a long time in California and now lives in New York City, and though he has traveled around the world, he remains obsessed with Detroit during those tough years around the middle of the twentieth century. In one poem in The Mercy, his most recent collection, he remembers 1949 and a "modest house in a row of modest houses / in an ordinary neighborhood on the west side / of the city of Detroit." After the poem weaves through memories of Spain and memories of Charlie Parker, it returns to where it started: How ordinary it all was, the dawn breaking each morning, dusk arriving on time just as the lights of houses In an essay in his recent prose collection So Ask, Levine acknowledges, "I was resentful of the factory work I had to do, partly because I saw it as something that was either going to delay my arrival into the kingdom of poetry or deny my entry. Little did I know it would become my subject matter." And that subject matter provokes Levine's best poems. The recent "Drum" takes its subtitle from a job location: "Leo's Tool & Die, 1950." In the poem Levine describes the lives of the people who work there with him, who "sweep, wash up, punch out, collect outside / for a final smoke." At the end even this small job shot finds an almost mythic connection:

Praise the Lord, said the radio, the radio said Praise the Lord again, and the television turned its back on the room. Turnips for wisdom, eggplant for beauty, parsnips for ease, cabbage for size, a raw egg for the hair, a slice of ham to seize the hips, for the nose foxglove and salt, for grace ice-cold water poured from way high up to way down low. Everyone sits at the big table in the dark. The empty plates moon, the silverware stars, the napkins scrub their hands. I'm home, says the front door. The windows are deep in thought, the roof has taken off its hat. Nothing to do, chants the toilet. The Secret Life of Luther Cox If you'd met him as a boy you'd think how unlikely that creation would choose Luther for so serious a purpose. Short, pale, with flaming red hair darkened with filth, Luther always wore a white scarf, winter and summer, cut from a dish towel. If you sat behind Luther in school as I did you saw the two flushed ears jutting out and stuffed with leaking wads of cotton batting to fend off words, for words were what

14th Annual Literary Festival Old Dominion University October 8-10, 1991 Philip Levine Philip Levine's fourteenth book of poetry, What Work Is , was published this spring. Perhaps the title of this most recent collection summarizes much of what is central to his remarkable poetry. Most of his work concentrates on the working class, particularly those auto workers in Detroit with whom he is so familiar. His poetry has been a search to find a voice for the voiceless. As he explained in Detroit Magazine , "In terms of the literature of the United States they weren't being heard. Nobody was speaking for them. And as young people will, you know, I took this foolish vow that I would speak for them and that's what my life would be. And sure enough I've gone and done it. Or I've tried anyway...I just hope I have the strength to carry it all the way through." Levine has won an assortment of awards, from a Notable Book Award given by the Library Association to the National Book Critics Award. He has read poetry at the Library of Congress, been an adviser to the Academy of American Poets, and has been named an outstanding lecturer by California State University.

Authors Philip Levine (1928- ) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Authors: Philip Levine (1928- ) Index Philip Levine, born in Detroit, Michigan, deals directly with the economic sufferings of workers through keen observation, rage, and painful irony. Like Hugo , his background is urban and poor. He has been the voice for the lonely individual caught up in industrial America. Much of his poetry is somber and reflects an anarchic tendency amid the realization that systems of government will endure. In one poem, Levine likens himself to a fox who survives in a dangerous world of hunters through his courage and cunning. In terms of his rhythmic pattern, he has traveled a path from traditional meters in his early works to a freer, more open line in his later poetry as he expresses his lonely protest against the evils of the contemporary world.
