I love the poetry of my friend, John Phillips. He is a master of the compressed, cut lyric. -Kent Johnson.John Phillips writes with a precision, balance & grace that calls to mind the very best of Louis Zukofsky's short poems, or Creeley's early period, or Lorine Niedecker's work. At his best, Phillips is absolutely dazzling. -Ron Silliman (On Language Is)These poems have no extraneous cargo, they are tight as a duck's butt. And smart.You could write most of these astute and pristine poems on a post-it note and carry it in your pocket for later use. -Michael Dennis (On Shape of Faith)Perhaps Phillips' greatest accomplishment is how he cast out words that create a reality that, nonetheless, evoke that reality that existed pre-words. I am touching quite briefly on the many marvels within the book's pages. I recommend you look for this book and inhabit it for yourself. You'll come out of the experience more enlightened than before you began it. -Eileen Tabios (On Shape of Faith)", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/84/861/946/1848619464_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "20.00", "online_price" : "20.00", "our_price" : "20.00", "club_price" : "20.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
