520			_aRicardo M. De Ungria's Pidgin Levitations is a truly remarkable work of revision and recreation of his uncollected poems 1981 - 89: Revision as "an art initself" since "No Poem is ever finished," and recreation as "my old self co-creating with me the poems of the past that were in their nascent state" (The Word Recreation also comprising "The ideas on leisure and sports"). The poems in pidgin levitations show a poet's exemplary course from an aesthetics of "Esoteric allusions ... and mystifying subtleties and obscurities" to a poetics of ordinary language and ordinary subjects : I.E., "English at groundlevel, English at its most conversational," and "Ordinary, everyday activities ... As fit subjects for poetry." Pidgin Levitations should now soar its insight into the creative work of revision, clearly shown in the poet's own biographical sketch and as clearly expounded in his "Foreword, A kind of," and then fully demonstrated through 131 poems "Of the past," is of incalculable value for Teachers and Students of poetry, literary critics, writers, and all who have poetry's interest at heart.
