Overview
Rowan Ricardo Phillipsās fourth collection is a book as lustrous as the metal of its title.
This beautiful, slender collectionāsmall and weighted like a coināis Rowan Ricardo Phillips at his very best. These luminous, unsparing, dreamlike poems are as lyrical as they are virtuosic. āNot the meaning,ā Phillips writes, ābut the meaningfulness of this mystery we call lifeā powers these poems as they conjure their prismatic array of characters, textures, and moods. As it reverberates through several styles (blank verse, elegy, terza rima, rhyme royal, translation, rap), Silver reimagines them with such extraordinary vision and alluring strangeness that they sound irrepressibly fresh and vibrant. From beginning to end, Silver is a collection that reflects Phillipsās guiding principleāāpart physics, part faith, part voidāāthat all is reflected in poetry and poetry is reflected in all.
This is work that brings into acute focus the singular and glorious power of poetry in our complex world.
