DESCRIPTION:

 Carl Phillips is an author of

 of Arrows: Selected Poems 1986-2006 (2007)

 poets, such as George Herbert and John 
 Donne. \n
 According to the Judges' Citation 
 for the 1998 National Book Awards, "Carl Phillips' 
 passionate and lyrical poems read like 
 prayers, with a prayer's hesitations, its desire 
 to be utterly accurate, its occasional flowing 
 outbursts."\n
