It's Me Singing, Gone But Here: The Poetry of Philip Levine

The New York Public Library celebrates the life, legacy, and influences of Pulitzer Prize winner and Poet Laureate Philip Levine, who died earlier this year. It’s Me, Singing, Gone But Here: The Poetry of Philip Levine showcases Levine's papers as well as original documents from T.S. Eliot, John Berryman, Walt Whitman, and John Keats, who influenced him. "Philip Levine was a poet of the working man and woman, but he was also a poet filled with wonder at the mystery of existence," says Isaac Gewirtz, Curator, Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature. "We are fortunate that the history of his astonishing creativity, which sprang from these sources, is found in his papers at the The New York Public Library."
