This magnum opus brings together four hundred of Phillips best pieces. These works explore the physical and metaphysical topographies and ethnicities that make up the Australian, Italian and Chinese cultures. The authors deep sense of engagement with each of these very different nations and their respective geographies and culture, has resulted in his personal immersion in both the Mandarin and Italian languages.
This deeper seeing has permitted Phillips to produce syntactically accurate and engaging poetics (such as LaCapraia and Wo Si Gu Wo Zai) in two philological areas separate from his birth language.
