Sifting among the upturned evidence of crisis, from Roman Empire to westward expansion, from the turn of a lover's face to the harbor of the book's title--a place of calm fashioned of the very rock that can mean disaster--these poems negotiate and map out the impulse toward rescue and away from it. Phillips's pooling, cascading lines are the unsuppressed routes across his unique poetic landscape, daring and seductive in their readiness to drift and reverse as the terrain demands.","brand":"Carl Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43793369792554,"sku":"9780374528850","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/rock-harbor-poems-4806513.jpg?v=1762149600","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/rock-harbor-poems","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
