Levine the Anarchist?
Levine has stated in So Ask: Essays, Conversations, and Interview that he's not an "anarchist" per se, though he does have sympathy with the movement.

Calling him an "anarchist poet" isn't simply wrong-headed; it's plain unfactual. --The Prowler, 6.5.06

Literary nonsense
I am not sure if an article on Levine, or any writer, should include literary analysis of his or her works in the way it is persented here. It reads like a review of a Greenday concert. I would like to see less review of the "quality" and "meaning" of Levine's work and more about his contributions to the art of poetry. Bad analysis should never be used to back up false statements about a wrtier's life.

 * I started this mess by repeating some popular interpretations I've heard of Levine's work. Since then, the article has turned into a cesspool of pretentious bullshit. I apologize; I'll try and repair the damage. 209.247.5.49 16:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
