A powerful, inventive collection from one of America's most respected poets
There's
a trembling inside the both of us,
there's a trembling, inside us both.
The territory of Reconnaissance is one where morals threaten to become merely "what the light falls through," "suffering [seems] in fact for nothing," and "all we do is maybe all we can do." In the face of this, Carl Phillips, reconsidering and unraveling what we think we know, maps out the contours of a world in revision, where truth lies captured at one moment and at the next goes free, transformed. 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, Slate).

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. First printing. Complete number line, including the 1. A fine book in a fine dust jacket. A tight copy, as new, appears unread, without any marks or defects. Dust jacket is clean and bright, with price intact on front flap. Comes with archival-quality dust jacket protector. Shipped in well padded box. Although not marked as such in any way, this book came from the library of poet and literary critic J.D. McClatchy, from his estate in Stonington, Connecticut. Laid in is the publisher's card with the hand-written inscription, "Compliments of Carl Phillips." NOTE: I'm uncertain whether the inscription on the publisher's card is written by a publicity representative or by Phillips himself; it is written in a clear printed hand, so probably the former. No inscriptions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers McClatchy-116
