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, Constant Critic.
