Reviews
" What Work Is gives a hymn-like quality to its eulogies and elegies. Levine's voice frequently blurs the line between poetic utterance and prayer . . . His lyrical compassion, anger, and hopefulness make him one of the most authentically moving poets of our age." -Phoebe Pettingell, The New Leader "It didn't seem possible that Levine could improve on his first working-class portraits, yet I feel these new poems are an improvement: an extra dimension of dignity has been conferred on his characters . . . the poems 'Fear and Fame,' 'Coming Close,' 'Every Blessed Day,' and the title poem are perhaps the most moving that Levine has written-tender without being sentimental, calm but not lacking in passion, written in a diction as clear and lucid as spring water." -Alfred Corn, The Washington Post Book World "Since the early 1960s Philip Levine has articulated in poetry the lives of the men and women who run machines, punch the time clocks, and work the assembly lines . . . What Work Is makes some of its severest poetry out of wounds inflicted on workers and the environments by manufacturing . . . New Selected Poems published simultaneously reminds us that he has been our preeminent poet of working life for several decades." -Richard Tillinghast, The New York Times Book Review, " What Work Is gives a hymn-like quality to its eulogies and elegies.

Synopsis
Winner of the National Book Award in 1991 "This collection amounts to a hymn of praise for all the workers of America. These proletarian heroes, with names like Lonnie, Loo, Sweet Pea, and Packy, work the furnaces, forges, slag heaps, assembly lines, and loading docks at places with unglamorous names like Brass Craft or Feinberg and Breslin's First-Rate Plumbing and Plating. Only Studs Terkel's Working approaches the pathos and beauty of this book. But Levine's characters are also significant for their inner lives, not merely their jobs. They are unusually artistic, living 'at the borders of dreams.' One reads The Tempest 'slowly to himself'; another ponders a diagonal chalk line drawn by his teacher to suggest a triangle, the roof of a barn, or the mysterious separation of 'the dark from the dark.' What Work Is ranks as a major work by a major poet . . . very accessible and utterly American in tone and language." -Daniel L. Guillory, Library Journal, Winner of the National Book Award in 1991 "This collection amounts to a hymn of praise for all the workers of America.
