Kevin Miller (2008)
Pleasure Boat Studio: A Literary Press is
pleased to announce the publication of Home & Away: The Old Town
Poems by Kevin
Miller.
In these poems, Kevin Miller drafts people, characters,
images and events out of their familiar locations and contexts and
weaves them into new situations, creating unexpected connections,
original experiences. Miller invites us into his town, shares its truths
and textures. And in the generous spirit of the man and poet, these
poems are also an invitation to all of us, in whatever way we can, to
forge and populate an old town of our own.
You can purchase the book
directly from Pleasure Boat Studio, amazon.com, or bn.com. $15.
