I have been searching for a poem by American poet Philip Levine - the poem is called, "Ashes" and I believe it was printed in a book with "Ashes" as its title. I have looked up scores of poems with the same name (I've even wrote one myself, lol), but can't find it (the Philip Levin one) shown anywhere.
I'm hoping someone out there has a copy of it and lead me to a link or something.
THANKS ...

and Alibris

But I can't find the text anywhere online. Sorry :(

[If you're not in a hurry, your local library can probably track down a copy of the book via the inter-library loan service].
Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for the links guys. The thing is the books on offer named "Ashes" contain several other poems and the poem "Ashes" is just one of many. I do not really want to buy the book. I can't find it (apart from the title) on the internet, not even at the well-known web sites.
I may, as you suggested, ask at my local library.
Thanks for trying.

I found a copy I'd saved yonks ago on a tatty piece of paper in about size 8 font.
The link had been removed from the site I got it from - so I scanned it and enlarged but it came out a bit wonky - still nevermind, lol! :)
Here it is for those interested :-
