Trade Review"Miller demonstrates that what Eliot said about reading a poem may be equally true of writing them: the best thing 'is to be very, very intelligent' and intelligence is not the same as erudition. Whether the world is made, found, or named, Miller offers an engaging portrait of things as they are." - Poetry "The Phoenix Poets list contains a number of poets currently on my list of favorites. This is a strong, vital series that has given voice to some of the best voices in American poetry today." - Billy Collins"
