Sobre el libro Scattered Snows, to the North de Carl Phillips publicado por Carcanet al 2024:
Carl Phillips´s Scattered Snows, to the North is a collection about distortion and revelation, about knowing and the unreliability of a knowledge that´s rooted in (always unstable) human memory. If the poet´s recent books have been engaged with the theme of power, this one focuses on vulnerability: the value of embracing it and thus of releasing ourselves from the compulsion to understand our past. If we remember a thing, did it really happen? If we believe it didn´t, does that make our belief true? In Scattered Snows, to the North, Phillips looks through the window of the past in order to understand the essential sameness of the human condition – ´tears were tears´, mistakes were made and regretted or not regretted, and it mattered until it didn´t, the way people live until they don´t. And there was also joy. And beauty. ´Yet the world´s still so beautiful... Sometimes it is...´ It was enough. And it still can be. Then the War: And Selected Poems 2007-2020, Phillips´s first UK publication, won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. His most recent prose book is My Trade Is Mystery: Seven Meditations from a Life in Writing (Yale University Press, 2022). Phillips lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.Altres llibres de Carl Phillips
