Flamingo Park is Miriam Levine’s gift to you. The setting of this online chapbook is the Flamingo Park neighborhood of Miami Beach, Florida. The themes, for the most part, are love, death, joy—laughter and tears—the longstanding themes of lyric poetry.

In Forget about Sleep, her sixth poetry collection, Miriam Levine remembers lost lovers, friends, her beloved family, and celebrates treasured places and the near and dear still alive. 

In Saving Daylight, her fifth poetry collection, Miriam Levine connects intimately with people and places.  Levine’s poems express beauty inseparable from peril.

With fierce and powerful writing, The Dark Opens by Miriam Levine sends her readers into a life deluged by love and loss, into people and places we have not yet known. Levine attends to the intricacies of love with unfailing tenderness, reaching into the dark yield of loss to locate the clear and concise language of reconceived faith.

The Graves of Delawanna is a record of trial and redemption. Miriam Levine’s impassioned poems move between the exhilaration of solitude and the poignancy of connection. These are visionary poems of the fallen world of gritty, industrial, northern New Jersey, and the silk mills of Paterson. They register the shocks of disenchantment and near-death. They also describe experiences of saving grace: unbidden, “a door of gold” appears in a vision, “molten without heat,” and somehow takes away the poet’s burden; a neighbor offers a rose, “heaps the swollen graft tip, / tenders with bent fingers.” Levine accepts the gift.

The poems of To Know We Are Living show super-sensitivity and resilience. Intimate expressions of connection to people and places, Miriam Levine’s lyric poems address the living and the dead: family, children, lovers, friends and admired writers. They chart the poet’s mind alive to life’s contradictions and history’s tragedy.
