"Like Powell's other books, this is startling, but this is startling in
a new way, toward its close sounding more like Richard Crashaw—with

"Readers of Carl Phillips's poetry will have some preparation for the
pleasures and insights of this volume, particularly its subtlety,
originality, and historical range. Yet Coin of the Realm will also be
admired as a prose work that stands alone. Incisive essays on George
Herbert, the Psalms, the place of race and identity in habits of
perception and reading, and the author's growth as a writer are unified
by central questions of beauty and ethics that will be of interest to
anyone who cares about literature." —Susan Stewart

"Out so much farther than our present pieties, attentive to no social
or sentimental voice, only passion's (so often ruinous, defiant of
upshot), it is not in every case, every poem, that Carl Phillips
triumphs over my timidity. As with Sappho and Pasolini, though, traces
of the winged god are everywhere unmistakable, even when this new poet
has kicked them over: it is a sacred entail his harsh graces make. I
for one am an awed (if lacerated) heir." —Richard Howard

substance." —Heather McHugh
