==="True to the down-to-earth nature of his poetry, Levine doesn’t have grand ambitions for his service as poet laureate."-Huffington Post. Philip Levine has truly earned his title of poet laureate by using a style of writing that express his emotions towards topics from his past in such a way that everyone can feel as well. He weaves messages into his poems that allows people to take away somthing more than just words on a sheet of paper. He enjoys taking one small topic and expanding it to create a bigger one to try and make the real, deeper meaning clear. He does this in his poem an "Extrodinary Morning". He takes the casual topic of two men outside of a building and describes the moment in such a way that the significance of it would have been over looked if not brought to our attention by Levine. Poetry is a passion for him that he tries to share with others.===
