Editorial Reviews

Alice Miller is a musician and was once a historian, and these poems are full of the lyrical texture of time: ancient stories playing their notes against contemporary facts and feeling. At the same time, her book takes us far beyond its title, letting us glimpse again and again—in finite space—what is limitless.”  —Bill Manhire, inaugural poet laureate of New Zealand
