Reviews

"The 'intensity in the seeing' that Theodore Roethke believed good poetry possessed is everywhere present in Patrick Phillips's clear-eyed debut collection, Chattahoochee. The world Phillips evokes is a half-paradise of childhood innocence half-lost to the earthly imperfection of adult experience.
