Philip Levine reads his poem 'Starlight' from IN PERSON: 30 POETS filmed by Pamela Robertson-Pearce. Pamela Robertson-Pearce has been filming poets reading their work for Bloodaxe's archive and DVD-books. We will be posting further films of individual poets. We are also showing a 45-minute film (featuring 20 poets from the IN PERSON archive reading their work) at various independent cinemas, arts festivals and other venues around Britain and Ireland this year. This poem by Philip Levine is from STRANGER TO NOTHING: SELECTED POEMS (Bloodaxe Books, 2006). It first appeared in his US editions ASHES (Atheneum, 1979) and NEW SELECTED POEMS (Alfred A. Knopf, 1991). We filmed Philip Levine in Brooklyn in 2006.
