Silverchest : poems / Carl Phillips. by Phillips, Carl, 1959- Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013. Call #: 811.54 P558si Subjects Self-actualization (Psychology) -- Poetry.   American poetry -- 21st century.   American poetry -- Black authors. ISBN:  9780374261214 (hc.) 0374261210 (hc.) 9780374534332 (pbk.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  61 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "In Silverchest, his twelfth book, Carl Phillips considers how our fears and excesses, the damage we cause both to others and to ourselves, intentional and not, can lead not only to a kind of wisdom but also to renewal, maybe even joy, if we're willing to commit fully to a life in which "I love you / means what, exactly?" In poems shot through with his signature mix of eros, restless energy, and moral scrutiny, Phillips argues for the particular courage it takes to look at the self squarely--not with judgment but with understanding--and extend that self more honestly toward others. It's a risk, there's a lot to lose, but if it's true that 'we'll drown anyway--why not / in color?' His work has been anthologized in The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Poetry (Vintage Books, 2003) and The Vintage Book of African American Poetry (Vintage Books, 2000). Phillips is also the author of a book of prose, Coin of the Realm: Essays on the Art and Life of Poetry (Graywolf Press, 2004). He is Professor of English and of African and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, where he also teaches in the Creative Writing Program."--Provided by publisher.
