"You must take into consideration that I grew up not in an American, and not in an English, but in a European atmosphere; my father was naturalized in Eng. only around the time I was born – his background was Jewish, Russian, Central European – and my mother, herself proudly Welsh, had lived in Poland, Germany, & Denmark etc. all the years between 1910 & 1923.  And then, when I came to the U.S., I was already 24 years old – so tho' I was very impressionable, good melting-pot material, the American idiom is an acquired language for me.  Certainly I am an American poet, if anything – I know I am not an English one – nevertheless . . . "

– Denise Levertov, from a letter to William Carlos Williams, 1960
