| Synopsis: |
In this extraordinary full-length collection, Alice Miller explores history, myth, scene, place, music and relationship in poems that marry charmed, syncopated rhythmic language and intricate, urgent metaphor. Human limits are tested, depths plumbed and boundaries traced - but Miller's aural swoops and metaphoric stretching are grounded always by charged, concrete details, whether in the crisp fields of Antarctica or outside the gates of Troy. Though often inhabiting these mythic presents or drawing on storied pasts Among the crowds, you look for somebody who knows you, in the hope they'll tell a story you have not yet heard. The commanding, fascinating poems in this book also feel urgent and relevant. Written with aplomb, The Limits isn't always comforting to enter - but difficult to tear yourself away from. |
