Poetry. The subjects of Levering's poems are as intriguingly variegated as the musicality of his assured poetic diction. In poem after poem, he reveals the extraordinary essence of seemingly ordinary phenomena. Even the common chemical element, copper, in Levering's laserlike gaze, ...unclasps / its rings from our magnets and limbs, / and climbs back inside mountains.

These poems are paeans, as much to the beauties and fragilities of the natural world as to the pleasure and pain of the human. Like the protagonist of his brilliant poem, 'St. Francis' (of Assisi), Levering is at one with the world where he lives '...flush with love of God / and animals.'--Larry D. Thomas
