A stunning new collection of poems from the author of "Speak
Low"
Comparing any human life to "a restless choir" of impulses
variously in conflict and at peace with one another, Carl Phillips,
in his eleventh book, examines the double shadow that a life casts
forth: "now risk, and now / faintheartedness." In poems that both
embody and inhabit this double shadow, risk and faintheartedness
prove to have the power equally to rescue us from ourselves and to
destroy us. Spare, haunted, and haunting, yet not without hope,
"Double Shadow" argues for life as a wilderness through which
there's only the questing forward--with no regrets and no looking
back. "Double Shadow" is a finalist for the 2011 National Book
Award for PoetryWinner of the 2011 "Los Angeles Times" Book Prize
for PoetryA "Boston Globe" Best Poetry Book of 2011
