Levertov where is the angel

She read her poetry at University of Washington one time when I was able to be there. Glad to see her in your postings.

Good to read that you are feeling better and that your creative spirit is strong. And certainly some people are more willing than I was to settle into the comfortable. Thanks for sharing your insights into so many writers. My wishes for your good health. It was wonderful to read your interpretation of this poem because i did not understand it in the same way. To me the glass bubble was not the safety of her world it was more of something that she retreated to after being quite badly hurt.

I understood it as a numbness she entered, where life was still happening around her yet she was not fazed by it and then in the end she was finally ready to BE again and break out of her funk and be heard just to simply be heard again. But the way you saw this poem gave me such a different understanding! Its bewildering! Thank you and best of health to you too. Thanks for the comment. Try to find a couple of other readings, interpretations, Mariya.

No driving snow in the glass bubble, but mild September. Such clear walls of curved glass: I see the violent gesticulations and feel—no, not nothing. Her passionate denunciation of the Vietnam War, her active participation in antiwar organizing and protests, and her subsequent work on behalf of the environment earned her the devotion of a generation of activists.

Her conversion to Catholicism in the last two decades of her life, along with her deeply moving religious poetry, earned her yet another group of devoted fans. I was fortunate to have Levertov as a teacher, mentor, and great friend, so I am able to offer some insight into her life work by sharing my own reflections on our many personal discussions on politics, poetry, and God wrestling. In modern theology, the term God wrestling which Levertov herself was fond of has come to mean a creative, dynamic, and above all personal relationship with God, the Bible, and religious tradition.

Rabbi Arthur Waskow, one of the founders of the Jewish Renewal movement, writes in his book God Wrestling II , "What went before we turn and turn like a kaleidoscope; with every turn there appears new beauty, new complexity, new simplicity.

God wrestling implies a hermeneutic theology. An absolute knowledge of God's will is impossible; what meaning we can glean emerges from our active engagement and interpretation.

Borrowing a term from contemporary psychoanalysis, I would describe the God wrestler as having an intersubjective relationship with the Deity. Contemporary psychoanalysis, drawing from such disparate sources as the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, and contemporary child development research, describes meaning in psychoanalysis as an emergent property of the encounter between two differently organized subjective worlds—those of the analyst and the patient.

By extension, for the God wrestler, religious faith emerges from the encounter between our subjective world and a God who is himself a subject: a feeling, fallible being who, moment to moment, is in an intimate relationship with us.
