In Wild Is the Wind  Carl Phillips reflects on love as depicted in the jazz standard for which the book is namedlove at once restless  reckless  and yet desired for its potential to bring stability. In the process  he pitches estrangement against communion  examines the past as history versus the past as memory  and reflects on the pasts capacity both to teach and to mislead usalso to make us hesitate in the face of love  given the loss and damage that are  often enough  loves fallout. How to say no to despair? How to take perhaps that greatest risk  the risk of believing in what offers no guarantee? These poems that  in their wedding of the philosophical  meditative  and lyric modes  mark a new stage in Phillipss remarkable work  stand as further proof that if Carl Phillips had not come onto the scene  we would have needed to invent him.
