Philbrick’s beautifully braided music elaborates on that “way out” tradition of philosophical poets riffing—errantly, unexpectedly— on themes of rupture and rapture, finitude and freedom. With the sensuousness of Nate Mackey, and the lyric acumen of Ed Roberson, this collection augurs something singular, a new way of making meanings crest and slope within the spun drift of possibility.
