Wherever You Lay Your Head

In part a literary homage to Hiroshige, Japan's master print artist who immortalized scenes along the Tokaido, the "Eastern Sea Road." Like Hiroshige's prints, Miller's poems are a window through which we view the joyous details of the difficult lives of innkeepers, cooks, porters, wrestlers, and men and women of the pleasure quarter. She freely draws from Hiroshige's world to illuminate the cultural and moral grounding of the nuclear age. --Copper Canyon Press Miller is by far one of our best poets writing today. --Lambda Book Report I like Miller the same way I like Jackson Pollack and Jasper Johns; her imagination, willingness to take risks, and her odd sensibility, like theirs, never flags ... It's heartening to see a poet work from the pure energy of language, without apology. --Valerie Duff, Boston Book Review Miller is an extraordinary poet ... an astoundingly supple voice. --Jorie Graham.
