Letters to Tom Parkinson, 1959-1972.

Correspondence on poetry and anti-war politics; the earliest letters concern the analytical piece on Duncan that Prkinson has asked her to write for his brand-new journal, the NEW BERKELEY REVIEW. Creeley has suggested Levertov as the person to write it. She "finds it difficult to say anything interesting about what I most love and admire, " but she'll give it a try. Later letters also touch on living situations, her husband Mitchell Goodman, finances, methods of teaching, more personal matters. Parkinson has helped her obtain an appointment at Berkeley for the academic year 1968-69. She discusses some of her own poems which she's sent to Parkinson (not present), several of her legal trials, her husband's critically successful first book, and the novel THE END OF IT.
