In the process, he pitches estrangement against communion, examines the past as history versus the past as memory, and reflects on the past's capacity both to teach and to mislead us--also to make us hesitate in the face of love, given the loss and damage that are, often enough, love's fallout. How \"to say no to despair\"? How to take perhaps that greatest risk, the risk of believing in what offers no guarantee? These poems that, in their wedding of the philosophical, meditative, and lyric modes, mark a new stage in Phillips's remarkable work, stand as further proof that \"if Carl Phillips had not come onto the scene, we would have needed to invent him. His idiosyncratic style, his innovative method, and his unique voice are essential steps in the evolution of the craft\" (Judith Kitchen, \u003ci\u003eThe Georgia Review\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eReconnaissance\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the PEN Poetry Award and the Lambda Literary Award, and \u003ci\u003eDouble Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
