"Jane Miller is an extraordinary poet... an astoundingly supple voice." -Jorie Graham

"Jane Miller is by far one of our best poets writing today . . . Miller is like the NASA space station of poetry: out of this world, yet of it, and still looking down. From her peculiar and important vantage she blows us kisses in the form of images that hit their mark." - Lambda Book Report

"Miller's writing is brassy but earnest, and she suffuses her approach to fraught social politics with humor and exuberant interest in people." -Publishers Weekly

"Reading Jane Miller's poetry is like channel-surfing on acid: her deliberately interrupted narrative warps and weaves and makes the familiar strange and the strange recognizable as something you might have put away in a shoebox." -LA Weekly

"Though history may be written by the victors, Miller demonstrates that it is not wholly stable, that legend and myth create opportunities for revision and reclamation, and that the future is yet to be authored." -The Critical Flame

"Her lusher effusions gain astringency from an achingly palpable heartbreak, and from an increased awareness of technology, commodity, politics: swoon meets zoom." -Boston Review

"Book by book, Jane Miller has evolved a mode, a voice, a palette and landscape entirely her own. If she were a painter, one might describe it as a descendant of cubism, a composition of multiple planes and reflections that appears to emerge out of itself, true to laws of its own nature, and yet is disturbingly recognizable, continuously suggestive, intimate and beautiful. Her subject is love and illusion and their revelation about each other."-W. S. Merwin

"Excellent . . . Miller is able to go inside her subjects and draw readers with her. That experience makes this collection one for all libraries."-Diane Scharper, Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
