These poems track a wolf through Oregon and track grief across\u003cbr\u003e its shifting portraits, but whatever the metaphors pursued here, you never see the\u003cbr\u003e end coming. Miller knows what one line can do to another and how an image can\u003cbr\u003e make a poem open. Beauty is found in laundromats and pictures of food and from\u003cbr\u003e the perspective of drones, in all the places we never expected to find ourselves, and\u003cbr\u003e every shadow between ourselves and home.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Traci Brimhall, author of Saudade and Our Lady of the Ruins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"These poems brim with keen metaphors and spotlight observations. Intimate descriptions\u003cbr\u003e are conveyed like speaking to a friend, and with a humor that animates\u003cbr\u003e wide-ranging experiences from lovers to laundromats, even grief. Amy writes with\u003cbr\u003e tenderness while wielding metaphors like signal flags. This is assured writing. You\u003cbr\u003e will want more.
