"Some poets live deep back, quietly, in far places, still. 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 Zukofskys short poems, or Creeleys early period, or Lorine Niedeckers work.At his best, Phillips is absolutely dazzling."Ron Silliman(OnLanguage Is)"These poems have no extraneous cargo, they are tight as a ducks butt.And smart.You could write most of these astute and pristine poems on a postit note and carry it in your pocket for later use."Michael Dennis (OnShape of Faith)"Perhaps Phillips greatest accomplishment is how he cast out words that create a reality that, nonetheless, evokethatreality that existedprewords. I am touching quite briefly on the many marvels within the books pages. I recommend you look for this book and inhabit it for yourself. Youll come out of the experience more enlightened than before you began it."Eileen Tabios (OnShape of Faith)
