[EDNOTE. Sandy Klein sends a link to a profile of poet Carl Phillips in
the River Front Times. -- SES]
Chapter & Verse
Gentle but piercing. Indirect but intimate. Languorous but lusty. Carl
Phillips is a lot like his poetry.
By Malcolm Gay
Vladimir Nabokov kept a stack of index cards under his pillow to take
advantage of insomniac moments. Saul Bellow would study the
constellations through his Vermont home's skylight while soaking in the
tub. Poet Donald Justice drew heavily from his piano playing, repeating
the lines over and over to himself.
Every writer has little tricks. For poet Carl Phillips . . .
