TRENDS Q & A
In April, Rowan Ricardo Phillips was named editor of the Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets, which publishes emerging and established poets through Princeton University Press and has nurtured many critically acclaimed verse makers over its nearly fifty-year history. The editorship was previously held for ten years by Susan Stewart. A poet, screenwriter, academic, journalist, and translator, Phillips is the author of six books, including the forthcoming poetry (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2024). Phillips discussed paying it forward through poetry, the power of the written word, the importance of university presses, and his plans to leave no manuscript unturned in his new role.
