Philip Levine: "Something Has Fallen"
This week we’re deeply honored to feature a poem by Philip Levine. Levine passed away last Saturday at 87. A Poet laureate from 2011 to 2012, he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1995 for his collection The Simple Truth and received two National Book Awards — in 1980 for Ashes: Poems New & Old and 1991 for What Work Is. At his death, he was an emeritus professor of English at California State University, Fresno, where he had taught from 1958 to 1992. The poem we feature here was originally published in our inaugural issue, 1.1, in spring 1978.
