The poems in this extraordinary full-length collection ask you to force yourself beyond your own boundaries. They are curious, restless, and bold; they marry lyrical music and intricate metaphor as they search for other human voices beyond the rumblings of the apocalypse and the stubbornness of myth. From bare battlefields to crisp Antarctica to the gates of Troy, from rewritten history to love story, these poems ask for something more from the world than just riding till the spoke breaks. A poet for whom one way is easy but an easy way is worse, Miller traces a path that leads beyond our limits to where we set the sky on silent, where we're braver than science, and where we try to unglimpse what we've lost.
