Abstract
The Night, the Plan, the Stars Carl Phillips (bio) Hard to tell if whoever hung those lanterns from bare branches meant to compensate, or console; maybe just decoration …The charge was to go sweetly anyways where sweetness had often made ________ no difference.

[End Page 180] Carl Phillips Carl Phillips's new book, Then the War, and Selected Poems 2007–2020, will be published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 2022. Copyright © 2021 Middlebury College
