    Fall 2023

    My fortress has many windows; from this one,
    I can tell the tide’s going out, I can see the small, purplish flowers,
    further up from the water, that you never stopped calling sea-thistle,

    though that’s still not right. The ring of aspens
    that surround my fortress, that of course know nothing of east or
    west or love when scattered in all its countless definitions,

    Carl Phillips is the author, most recently, of Scattered Snows, to the North. His first book, In the Blood, will be reissued by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 2025. His 2023 book, Then the War, received the Pulitzer Prize.
