These are poems of searing beauty, lit by hope and shadowed by it, from a poet whose work \"reinstates the possibility of finding meaning in a world that is forever ready to revoke the sources of meaning in our lives\" (Jonathan Farmer, \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of twelve books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eSilverchest\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the Griffin International Poetry Prize, and \u003ci\u003eDouble Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of a Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
