Sand

In this new collection, his ninth book of poetry, noted Los Angeles poet Dennis Phillips explores the temporal, an ever-shifting world in which meaning, like a palm full of sand, is made up of small particles which come together often by chance. "Who walks the boundaries?" Phillips asks the reader, challenging him or her to make sense of that ever-changing reality. Author of Credence, Study for the Ideal City, A World, Arena and other books, Dennis Phillips teaches at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he lives with his wife and child.
