Description
Carl Phillips' Coin of the Realm is a deeply intelligent exploration of the poet's craft, grappling with the values of beauty, risk, and authority that underpin the creative process. In these essays, Phillips argues that the poet's role is to trust their own judgment, even when it seems the most difficult and instinctively untrustworthy. Through his own work and that of others, Phillips examines the ways in which the poet's imagination and will can shape our understanding of the world.
