Lori Levy
Good morning, everyone – and welcome back to winter, after the brief spring fling we had last week here in the northeastern U.S. And now we see that you across Europe are having a “beast” of a snowstorm, the likes of which you have seldom seen. Congratulations – or something!
Nevertheless, we go on with poetry, and our poet today is Lori Levy, who now lives with her family in a multi-generational home in Los Angeles, California, but tells us that “home” for her has also been Vermont and Israel. This is the kind of geographical and cultural background that enriches her poems, which have appeared in many literary journals and anthologies in the U.S., England and Israel. Her poems have also been published in medical and medical humanities journals, such as JAMA and The Examined Life Journal, in a psychological journal, Psychological Perspectives, as well as the anthology recently published by IP Books, Climate of Opinion: Sigmund Freud in Poetry. One of her poems was also read on BBC Radio 4.
It’s with pleasure that we give you the three poems below by Lori Levy.
