A work that reminds us of the singular and glorious power of poetry
in our complex world. Silver is a collection that shines with a
guiding principle, that poetry: 'part physics, part faith, part
void', can be found wherever it is looked for. Virtuosic in style,
sharing the dexterity of the legendary Argentinian footballer,
Lionel Messi, who is conjured in its pages, the poems shape-shift
through blank verse, elegy, terza rima and rap. Phillips is
confident in his unconfidence: 'Not the meaning,' he writes, 'but
the meaningfulness of this mystery we call life'. The poems are
luminous and dreamlike in their evocations of time and place, held
in the light of a silvery moon that gives them their alluring
strangeness and vibrancy.
