The Traveler's Eye

In The Traveler's Eye: Early Poems, Phillips strives for intellectual and literary integrity, following somewhat in the tradition of great classics (such as Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson) but with plenty of modern twists. This 80 page volume focuses on issues of life, love, and death with serious yet tender observances, but also lightens the mood with poems that will leave its readers rolling with laughter. Phillips launches a promising poetical career with this beautifully crafted book.
