Biography
Gabriel Levin is the son of American novelist Meyer Levin and French novelist Tereska Torrès.[3] His younger brother Mikael Levin is a New York-based photographer.[3] While growing up, Gabriel and his family split their time between New York, Paris, and Israel.[3] Today he lives in Jerusalem.[3] Writing of his volume of essays A Dune's Twisted Edge, poet Ange Mlinko has described Levin as "an American-born Israeli poet who has parlayed his restless peripatetics into a poetics."[4]
Literary career
Levin is one of the founding editors of Ibis Editions, a small non-profit press devoted to publishing literature of the Levant.[5] His work has appeared in numerous literary magazines including P. N. Review, The Times Literary Supplement, Chicago Review, Raritan, Parnassus, and The Guardian. In 2012 British composer Alexander Goehr set Levin's book To These Dark Steps to music for tenor, children's choir, and ensemble. The piece premiered in September 2012 at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham.[6] Levin's writing has been described as part of the "Neo-modernist" tradition.[7]
