THEN THE WAR - CARL PHILLIPS KARTONIERT (TB)

WINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY A new collection of poems from one of America's
most essential  celebrated  and enduring poets  Carl Phillips's Then the WarI'm a song 
changing. I'm a light rain falling through a vast darkness toward a different darkness. Carl
Phillips has aptly described his work as an ongoing quest  Then the War is the next step in
that meaningful process of self-discovery for both the poet and his reader. The new poems 
written in a time of rising racial conflict in the United States  with its attendant violence
and uncertainty  find Phillips entering deeper into the landscape he has made his own: a forest
of intimacy  queerness  and moral inquiry  where the farther we go  the more difficult it is to
remember why or where we started. Then the War includes a generous selection of Phillips's work
from the previous thirteen years  as well as his recent lyric prose memoir  Among the Trees 
and his chapbook  Star Map with Action Figures. Ultimately  Phillips refuses pessimism  arguing
for tenderness and human connection as profound forces for revolution and conjuring a spell
against indifference and the easy escapes of nostalgia. Then the War is luminous testimony to
the power of self-reckoning and to Carl Phillips as an ever-changing  necessary voice in
contemporary poetry.
