I'm a light\n\u003cbr\u003erain falling through a vast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003edarkness toward a different\n\u003cbr\u003edarkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarl Phillips has aptly described his work as an \"ongoing quest\"; Then the War is the next step in that meaningful process of self-discovery for both the poet and his reader. The new poems, written in a time of rising racial conflict in the United States, with its attendant violence and uncertainty, find Phillips entering deeper into the landscape he has made his own: a forest of intimacy, queerness, and moral inquiry, where the farther we go, the more difficult it is to remember why or where we started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the War includes a generous selection of Phillips's work from the previous thirteen years, as well as his recent lyric prose memoir, \"Among the Trees,\" and his chapbook, Star Map with Action Figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Phillips refuses pessimism, arguing for tenderness and human connection as profound forces for revolution and conjuring a spell against indifference and the easy escapes of nostalgia. Then the War is luminous testimony to the power of self-reckoning and to Carl Phillips as an ever-changing, necessary voice in contemporary poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus \u0026 Giroux Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46380827213903,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":700.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9780374607678","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
