Levenstein's New Poems: Animal Vegetable

Chuck Levenstein's third poetry collection, Animal Vegetable, is his antidote to political, social and economic follies. "Ridiculously bucolic."

Brookline, Massachusetts (PRWEB) February 18, 2007 -- Chuck Levenstein's new collection of poems is about love and loss. He has tried to look at nature as more than something to eat. His poems lend a fresh voice to American environmentalism.

The first section of the book includes poems that focus on vegetables. They were written for a reading in Lawrence, Massachusetts, at the farmers' market there. Although he was invited because of his previous volume, Poems of World War III, the hosts requested some poems about produce - and Levenstein complied.

The second section of the book draws on older poems that have been bouncing around the internet for some years. "Love in the Forest" is a recurring theme - light-hearted and a little nasty.
