Take Me Home

"Arresting. This is the word that comes to mind after finishing Sarah Levine's, Take Me Home. From the first lines this collection grabbed my ear the way a good piece of music does, drawing me into its world of intimate utterance and melody. Throughout, Levine masterfully controls line, rhythm and language, building the music to crescendo before easing the tension in final, satisfying resolution. As I said, these poems are simply arresting." -Justen Ahren, author of A Machine For Remembering, and A Strange Catechism"Sarah Levine's poems beat like a heart. Familiar myths twist with each line. Primal, dreamy, and forlorn, like Andrew Wyeth paintings." -Rachel B. Glaser, author of Paulina & Fran"The poems in Take Me Home are filled with startling images that enrich their observations, creating a world that is uniquely new yet entirely familiar. Sarah Levine is an extremely gifted poet who understands the complexity and passion at the heart of the human condition. These finely tuned poems can only enhance the lives of those who read them." -Kevin Pilkington, author of The Unemployed Man Who Became a Tree
