Sifting among the upturned evidence of crisis, from Roman Empire to westward expansion, from the turn of a lover's face to the harbor of the book's title--a place of calm fashioned of the very rock that can mean disaster--these poems negotiate and map out the impulse toward rescue and away from it. Phillips's pooling, cascading lines are the unsuppressed routes across his unique poetic landscape, daring and seductive in their readiness to drift and reverse as the terrain demands.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Phillips \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of seven books of poems, most recently \u003ci\u003eRock Harbor\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Tether\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award; and \u003ci\u003eFrom the Devotions\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award, and the recipient of an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature in 2001.
