From the edges of the universe to the essential spark of being, Dvora Levin’s Ragged Light tracks human experience with penetrating insight and a wry wit. The poetry celebrates the raggedness of existence, reflecting the frayed quality of the refracted light by which we perceive life. Melding quantum physics and mystical awareness, Levin reminds us that we too are this same light. In seven sections, from Ragged Universe to Ragged Time, the reader journeys through light’s myriad, ragged forms – stars, relationships, spirit, places or people – all fractured events on a silent stage to which the voice offers praise while it may. Simultaneously humourous, conversational and intensely deep, the poems of Ragged Light are tattered prayer flags on an eternal clothesline.

A recovering management consultant rewiring her life, Dvora Levin has published two books of poetry, To Bite the Blue Apple and Sharav (Ekstasis Editions). She is an active member of Victoria’s poetry community through public readings and “poeming” unsuspecting citizens in the street, hotel lobbies and Laundromats. It is her passion to invite sex workers, addicts and the homeless to rise from their cold hard beds and speak their truth.
