<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Wind as a face gone red with blowing, </i><br><i>oceans whose end is broken stitchery--</i> <p/><i>swim of sea-dragon, dolphin, </i><br><i>shimmer-and-coil, invitation. . . . You Know</i><br><i>the kind of map I mean. Countries as</i> <p/><i>distant as they are believable . . .</i> <p/>--from Halo <p/>Carl Phillips lyric explorations of longing and devotion, castigation and mercy, are unrivaled in contemporary poetry. <p/>In <i>Rock Harbor, </i> his sixth book, Phillips visits those spaces, both physical and psychological, where risk and safety coincide, and considers what it might mean to live at the nexus of the two. Sifting among the upturned evidence of crisis, from Roman Empire to westward expansion, from the turn of a lover's face to the harbor of the book's title--a place of calm fashioned of the very rock that can mean disaster--these poems negotiate and map out the impulse toward rescue and away from it. Phillips's pooling, cascading lines are the unsuppressed routes across his unique poetic landscape, daring and seductive in their readiness to drift and reverse as the terrain demands.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A masterly collection from 'one of his generation's most prolific and gifted poets.'" --<i>Rick Hilles, Boston Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Carl Phillips </b>is the author of seven books of poems, most recently <i>Rock Harbor</i>; <i>The Tether</i>, winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award; and <i>From the Devotions</i>, a finalist for the National Book Award, and the recipient of an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature in 2001.
