"Speak Low "is the tenth book from one of America's most
distinctive--and one of poetry's most essential--contemporary
voices. Phillips has long been hailed for work provocative in its
candor, uncompromising in its inquiry, and at once rigorous and
innovative in its attention to craft. Over the course of nine
critically acclaimed collections, he has generated a sustained
meditation on the restless and ever-shifting myth of human
identity. Desire and loss, mastery and subjugation, belief and
doubt, sex, animal instinct, human reason: these are among the
lenses through which Phillips examines what it means to be that
most bewildering, irresolvable conundrum, a human being in the
world. These new poems are of a piece with Phillips's previous work
in their characteristic clarity and originality of thought, in
their unsparing approach to morality and psychology, and in both
the strength and startling flexibility of their line. "Speak Low
"is the record of a powerful vision that, in its illumination of
the human condition, has established itself as a necessary step
toward our understanding of who we are in the twenty-first century.
