About the Author

Phillip Egelston's first published poem appeared in The Saturday Evening Post in March of 1977. Often lyrical, his subject matter and his style have been eclectic over the years. In this first published collection, "Reste Placide," he highlights his continuing interest in concision and compression-the fruit of an abiding interest in poets who have often mastered a technique of gemlike quality, poets as diverse as Emily Dickinson and Samuel Menashe, Robert Francis and Kay Ryan, Olav Hauge and Juan Ramon Jimenez.
