Abstract
Abstract:
This essay examines the uneasy relationship between ethical susceptibility and the act of seeing in the poetry of Denise Levertov. It focuses mainly on two poems from The Jacob's Ladder (1961)-'During the Eichmann Trial' and 'A Solitude'-with some reference also to the work of Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Levinas.
