Albert Norman Levine (October 22, 1923 – June 14, 2005) was a Canadian short-story writer, novelist and poet.
He is perhaps best remembered for his terse prose.
Though he was part of the St.
Ives artistic community in Cornwall, and friends with painters Patrick Heron and Francis Bacon, his written expression was not abstract, but concrete.
"The leaner the language the more suggestive," he wrote in his 1993 essay, Sometimes It Works.
