The familial, social, and economic world of twentieth-century Detroit is one of the major subjects of Levine\'s work. His portraits of working-class Americans and his continuous examination of his Jewish immigrant inheritance (both based on real life and described through fictional characters) have left a testimony of mid-twentieth-century American life. Levine\'s working experience lent his poetry a profound skepticism concerning conventional American ideals. In his first two books, On the Edge (1963) and Not This Pig (1968), the poetry dwells on those who suddenly become aware that they are trapped in some murderous processes not of their own making. In 1968, Levine signed the \"Writers and Editors War Tax Protest\" pledge, vowing to refuse to make tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War. In his first two books, Levine was somewhat traditional in form and relatively constrained in expression. Beginning with They Feed They Lion, typically Levine\'s poems are free-verse monologues tending toward trimester or tetrameter The music of Levine\'s poetry depends on the tension between his line breaks and his syntax. The title poem of Levine\'s book 1933 (1974) is an example of the cascade of clauses and phrases one finds in his poetry. Other collections include The Names of the Lost, A Walk with Tom Jefferson, New Selected Poems, and the National Book Award-winning What Work Is.
