What does it mean to give shapelessness a form? How can a poem explore both the natural world and the inner world? Phillips demonstrates the restless qualities of the imagination by reading and examining poems by Ashbery, Bogan, Frost, Niedecker, Shakespeare, and others, and by considering other art forms, such as photography and the blues. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Daring\u003c\/i\u003e is a lyrical, persuasive argument for the many ways that writing and living are acts of risk. I think it's largely the conundrum of being human that makes us keep making, Phillips writes. I think it has something to do with revision--how, not only is the world in constant revision, but each of us is, as well.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a dozen books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eSilverchest\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Double Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, and a collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eCoin of the Realm: Essays on the Art and Life of Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
