Eric Miller's poetry moves fluidly from one delight to another. Fatherhood and the imagined world of childhood, the abundant complexity of nature, the habits of birds, the constantly shifting ways in which we know and see the world are just some of the themes he explores in these beautifully constructed and perceptive poems. At times rhapsodic, at times quiet and incisive, his long, floating sentences and exquisite metaphorical structures display an expressive gift that few writers can match.
