I love the mellifluous movement of these lines, which meditate on and mimic the transition of night into day, of season into season, of experience into memory. Poured gold.
Today our newsletter readers received two vivid, meditative poems from Rowan Ricardo Phillips’s new sequence, “Gold.” These appeared in our Summer 2025 issue.

Great poems both.
