TORCH RIVER, A Collection of Poetry by Elizabeth Philips, is a stunning new collection, and Elizabeth Philips takes us down into the swirling core of planetary energies, the central mystery of life itself.
Sexual love, the wilderness, the births and deaths that connect them, the breathing and the not-breathing that connect birth and death, the interior wilderness of desire and the sensual love of wild things, of trees, earth, water — these are Philips’s themes and subjects, rendered in a language of tremendous immediateness and authority. These are poems that will take your own breath away, that will give it back to you bigger, deeper than you imagined possible.
