Description

"In Amy Miller's The Trouble with New England Girls, love can make you leave, a kiss can make you stay, and floral apologies are so endangered they're illegal but offered anyway. These poems track a wolf through Oregon and track grief across its shifting portraits, but whatever the metaphors pursued here, you never see the end coming. Miller knows what one line can do to another and how an image can make a poem open. Beauty is found in laundromats and pictures of food and from the perspective of drones, in all the places we never expected to find ourselves, and every shadow between ourselves and home." --Traci Brimhall, author of Saudade and Our Lady of the Ruins "These poems brim with keen metaphors and spotlight observations. Intimate descriptions are conveyed like speaking to a friend, and with a humor that animates wide-ranging experiences from lovers to laundromats, even grief. Amy writes with tenderness while wielding metaphors like signal flags. This is assured writing. You will want more. I do." --Allan Peterson, author of Fragile Acts and Precarious

Author Biography:

Amy's writing has appeared in Nimrod, Rattle, Willow Springs, Zyzzyva, The Oregonian, Fine Gardening, and Asimov's Science Fiction, and her latest chapbooks are I Am on a River and Cannot Answer (BOAAT Press) and Rough House (White Knuckle Press). Amy won the Cultural Center of Cape Cod National Poetry Competition, judged by Tony Hoagland, the Jack Grapes Poetry Prize from Cultural Weekly, and the Earl Weaver Baseball Writing Prize from Cobalt Review, and was a finalist for the Pablo Neruda Prize, the Tinderbox Prize, and the 49th Parallel Award. Her article Anatomy of a Poetry Book appears in the 2017 Poet's Market. See Amy's Blog: Writer's Island. Lana Hechtman Ayers is a poet, novelist, publisher, and time-travel enthusiast. She facilitates generative writing workshops, leads salons for book groups, and teaches at writers' conferences. Lana resides in coastal Oregon where she enjoys the near-constant plink of rain on the roof and the sea's steady whoosh. She is obsessed with exotic ice cream flavors, Little Red Riding Hood, and monochromatic cats and dogs. Her favorite color is the swirl of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
