Rowan Ricardo Phillips?s fourth collection is a book as lustrous as the metal of its title.
This beautiful, slender collection?small and weighted like a coin?is Rowan Ricardo Phillips at his very best. These luminous, unsparing, dreamlike poems are as lyrical as they are virtuosic. ?Not the meaning,? Phillips writes, ?but the meaningfulness of this mystery we call life? 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 Phillips?s guiding principle??part physics, part faith, part void??that 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.
