Synopsis
Winner of the 2005 Kate Tufts Discovery Award.
From the author of Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America and the National Book Award finalist Elegy for a Broken Machine: Poems, here is the first collection from award-winning poet Patrick Phillips.
A river runs through Patrick Phillips’s collection Chattahoochee, and through a family saga as powerful and poignant as the landscape in which it unfolds. Here are tales of a vanished South, elegies for the lost, and glimpses of what Flannery O’Connor called the “action of grace in territory held largely by the devil.” In language delicate and muscular, tender and raw-boned, Phillips writes of family, place, and that mythic conjunction of the two we call home.

From the Publisher
"The resolve of CHATTAHOOCHEE is relentless--Phillips wastes no time getting to the center and wastes no language once he's there."
-Stanley Plumly, author of Now That My Father Lies Down Beside Me (2000)
"Harrowing and tender, full of communal warmth and racial hatred, intimacy and injustice. This is an unforgettable first book."
-Alan Shaprio, author of Song & Dance: Poems (2002)
"Tough-minded, taut and tender... CHATTAHOOCHEE recalls the landmark first books of the young Galway Kinnell, Philip Levine, or Larry Levis."
-Deborah Digges, author of Trapeze: Poems (2004)
"Phillips evokes a half-paradise of childhood, half-lost to earthly imperfection... a world illuminated, where awe and wonder find a voice."
-Michael Collier, author of The Ledge (2002)
From the Inside Flap
