In his first volume of poetry in15 years, award-winning author Peter Levitt has used his compelling poetic skill bring to life poems of great intimacy that affirm the essential connection all things share. Within Within brings to life the local world Levitt loves in a way that undeniably places beneath our feet "the unmoving ground beneath the ground / where we stagger, or stride."
Peter Levitt received the prestigious Lannan Literary Award in Poetry in 1989. In addition to his books of poetry and prose, he has published translations from Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. He immigrated to Canada in 2000 and lives with his wife, poet Shirley Graham, and their son, Tai, in British Columbia.
