Denise Levertov was born in England in 1923. She published her first book of poems in 1946 and moved to America in 1948. SANDS OF THE WELL, first published in hardcover in 1996, shows the poet at the height of her considerable powers, as she addresses the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest coastal landscape in terms of music, memory, aging, doubt, and faith.

"Book by book, I have read her poems for their subtle music, for their deep compassionate intelligence, for their imagination, and for the author's dignity and integrity and grace; and, most of all, for the indomitable and humble spirit that hungers there. I have savored them like salt, like honey."

Sam Hamill, American Poetry Review

"The synthesis of dualities through poetry, something with which Levertov's earlier works were concerned, is not so important here. There is a liberation in letting be."

Maggie Galehouse, Philadelphia Inquirer, 05/19/1996
