WINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYA new collection of poems from one of Americas most essential, celebrated, and enduring poets, Carl Phillips's Then the WarIm a song, changing. Im a light rain falling through a vast darkness toward a different darkness.Carl Phillips has aptly described his work as anongoing 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 Phillipss 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.
