Happy birthday to the legendary Larry Levis! From your groundbreaking debut, "Wrecking Crew," which earned you the International Poetry Forum's U.S. Award, you've been wrecking hearts and minds with poetic brilliance ever since. Your words continue to haunt us beautifully—whether it's through "The Afterlife" or "The Dollmaker's Ghost," each poem feels like a timeless conversation we never want to end.Today we celebrate not just another year of your literary genius but also every moment you've made readers laugh, ponder deeply, or scratch their heads in delightful confusion. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your poetry has brought inspiration—and perhaps fewer ghosts than usual!
