Poetry. Illustrated by Noah Miller. "Our consciousness needs a new conscience: human consciousness needs a new keel. Some of its lines of design may be found in Miller's poetry"—Sam Truitt, American Book Review. "Conversational fluidity and unstrained syntax enable Miller to address politics, current events, theoretical concerns, and personal experience with critical acumen"—Barbara K. Fischer, Boston Review. "Lively, brainy, probing...Miller's erudite, humane, and yes, talky poems are punctuated by young Noah with exuberant drawings"—Joyelle McSweeney, The Constant Critic.
