The mercy : poems / by Philip Levine. Levine, Philip, 1928-

viii, 81 p. ; 24 cm.

Philip Levine's new collection of poems (his first since The Simple Truth was awarded the Pulitzer Prize) is a book of journeys: the necessary ones that each of us takes from innocence to experience, from youth to age, from confusion to clarity, from sanity to madness and back again, from life to death, and occasionally from defeat to triumph.
