Poetry. In this new collection, his ninth book of poetry, noted Los Angeles poet Dennis Phillips explores the temporal, an ever-shifting world in which meaning, like a palm full of sand, is made up of small particles which come together often by chance. "Who walks the boundaries?" Phillips asks the reader, challenging him or her to make sense of that ever-changing reality.
