12 Poets #8: Denise Levertov

Well, the calendar year is coming to an end, and my year of writing about Christian poets is also well under way. We’re up to our eighth poet now, and this month we are going to be looking at American poet Denise Levertov, a Catholic poet and activist whose meditations on faith have been a big influence for me recently. Few poets inhabit a Biblical story or character quite like Levertov does. I hope you enjoy looking at her work as much as I will.
