THE INSIDE EDGE: Performance Poet CD
A PhlipEnt Production 2002

Two books, videos on television, ten years of live performances — finally, Phlip Arima has produced a recording of his work. The Inside Edge is more than a voice reciting poetry. It is a multi-layered journey of image and sound through the hard-edged urban world Arima presents with startling clarity and passionate honesty.

DAMAGED
Insomniac Press 1998. With drawings by Thomas Hendry. Thomas' site

Edgy, yet deeply compassionate, Phlip's poems capture the gritty urban reality of the homeless and the mad, in desperate contrast to the easy slogans of TV ads and store window displays. His question remains, "What happened to make them this way?"

PLAYING IN THE ASPHALT GARDEN
Insomniac Press 1994

This book features new Canadian urban writers, who express the urban experience — not the city of buildings and streets, but as a concentration of human experience, where a rapid and voluminous exchange of ideas, messages, power and beliefs takes place. Other writers include Jill Battson, Tatiana Freire-Lizama, and Stan Rogal.
