Description

Rowan Ricardo Phillips's debut collection of poetry is a masterful exploration of the modern world. Through lyrical and precise language, he contemplates the post-9/11 landscape, crafting a poignant vision of New York City. The poems in this work are characterized by their musicality and formal sophistication, blending elements of Spenserian stanzas, myths, and revamped translations to create a unique voice. Phillips's supple and idiosyncratic style brings together the hard glint of the contemporary world with the eroded permanence of the archaic one. These poems are marked by fiery intelligence, inescapable music, and metaphysical splendor, as they explore the connection between lived life and the life of the imagination.
