Poetry's roots lie in the communal. The first sceops , or shapers of words, recited their poems to an audience gathered about the fire, and later the mead hall, one poet beginning where the previous ended. Only recently has poetry shifted to an isolated activity written by a solitary writer and read by a lone reader. Hwaet! The communal origins of poetry have returned in Triptych ! What a great joy to share this space with two poets whose mythological hauntings and metaphysical musings dance so tantalizingly with my own. Buy a book. Take a seat, and welcome back to the hearth! --Peter Grandbois In these three distinct, discrete, and demanding collections within a single cover, what connects them all is the attention to the celebrant's voice. If poetry is anything it is the pleasure of the poet in their language--whatever the poem may mean is ancillary to the velocities of language, the inhabitations that language creates, formal or densely scattering, historical or local. Each of these collections off er readers a dwelling in language, the extension of voice across poems and into poetry-making / poiesis / formations. These are individual formations and velocities, yet as the collections become proximate, they are near to each other, sharing the pleasures of this work, this in/forming. --James McCorkle The poets in Triptych are experimenting with poetry's innovative possibilities and unexpected potential. Peter Grandbois' The Three-Legged World offers lyric meditations on stance, speech, and sonority. James McCorkle's In Time computer code-like lines explore the relationship between breath and line breaks. Robert Miltner's Orpheus & Echo evokes fragments of lost texts that straddle the intimate distance between the prosaic and the poetic. Reading Triptych , a unique three-books-in-one collection, is like attending a seminar on twenty-first century poetics. --Robert Miltner, What a sensual delight! What a brilliant, provocative, lyrical read! Surprising, unique, witty, insightful, Orpheus & Echo is like slipping into a mythical world, a visual paradise, a fractured dream. It's like a glass of the rarest wine--perhaps mixed with a hallucinogen or two. A rare and original collection in which each poem possesses mystical moments, insights, visions, shimmering gems, this is the kind of book you will want to keep on your nightstand and read slowly, just to feel how poetry can change not only how you see the world, but also how you think, walk, breathe. In Orpheus & Echo, Miltner has composed what most poets only dream of--a poetry collection that can change your life. --Nin Andrews, The Book of Orgasms and Why God is a WomanRobert Miltner describes the prose poems in Orpheus & Echo as "ekphrastic pieces based on the work of French and American Impressionist painters." This of course is true, since Impressionism, for all of its dependency on what Baudelaire calls the "lyrical impulses of the soul," still relies on the writer's or artist's impressions of external reality, as many of these prose poems do. And yet, Miltner's collection owes more to improvisation, to his ability to move effortlessly between the classical and contemporary, between the sacred and the profane, yet his work is capable at any moment of cutting loose. Only a mature poet could have written Orpheus & Echo, with it perfect mixture of classical, Romantic, and contemporary impulses. --Peter Johnson, Rants and Raves: Selected and New Prose PoemsReading Orpheus & Echo by Robert Miltner is like strolling through a gallery of Impressionist paintings while listening to the voices of oboes, cellos, and mourning doves remixed into a soundtrack of loss. His gorgeous music is made of lush, precise images, and phrases that transform themselves into stunning riffs through repetition and variation. White space expands inside his prose poems like breath, and yet after reading this, I still felt slightly breathless, awed by Miltner's vision and accomplishment, and wistful, like I'd just woken from a bittersweet dream. --Kathleen McGookey, Heart in a Jar and Whatever Shines

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
