She eloquently unearths how, via specific yet comparable capability, every one of those poets converts the need of quotidian adventure into a classy and experiential chance. In Stevens, Phillips analyzes the results of cyclic dualism. In Frost, she explains the theoretical intensity of a ordinary "middle way." In Bishop's paintings, she identifies the try to flip recurrent mornings right into a "ceremony" instead of a sentence, and in Merrill, she exhibits how cosmic theories depend on day-by-day habits.

Phillips eventually demonstrates poetics of daily time contributes not just to a richer figuring out of those 4 writers but in addition to descriptions in their period, estimations in their style, and ongoing reconfigurations of the problems that literature displays and illuminates.
