About this product
Product Information
Is nowhere a place we can get closer to? In her compelling second collection, Alice Miller tackles the circularity of thought, the company of the dead, and the lure of alternative futures. These poems rip into pockets of histories, trying to change facts and voices, searching for the word's version of music's home key. They dare you to visit, through a series of cities, the futures we never let happen.

'Here is a poet who wants to "speak in our/plainest tongues" but who also aims "to sing my way out." Alice Miller looks hard at history's terrifying straight lines, yet time and again turns to the obsessive, sometimes redemptive circlings of art. She knows that in a universe ruled by time and death, words can both rescue and destroy us, sometimes in a single utterance.' Bill Manhire'Alice Miller's poetry delights in the music of surprise, often playing prosodic continuities against a percussive mise-en-page. It invites us into a deceptively transparent universe that must, in fact, be decrypted. Miller's is the universe of the butterfly effect, where intimately minor events in one continent have seismic consequences in another. She knows what is at stake in the infinitesimal, the split second, the infra-thin.The poems in her scintillating collection, Nowhere Nearer, make us aware of how precarious the earth's crust is, how treacherous the ambient oceans can be, and how ephemeral we ourselves are as we traverse great distances through the air.' Ranjit Hoskote"A New Zealander who has studied in America and now lives in Austria, Miller has a wide and varied perspective. Her poems aren't quite surrealistic, but there is a strangeness to them that at times is eerie." David Starkey, Santa Barbara Independent"Nowhere Nearer is kaleidoscopic in its reach for heart and mind; silence matters as much as a delight in words and linguistic connections. You move between countries, ideas, memories, hauntings, loss. The past makes way for the future and the future makes way for the past. It is a joy to read, and a joy to read again. [...] It's a collection that is lucid on the line and bright with ideas." Paula Green, NZ Poetry Shelf"In her compelling second collection, Alice Miller tackles the circularity of thought, the company of the dead, and the lure of alternative futures.

Ranjit Hoskote, 'Miller's poems seem always susceptible -- their arcs can be injured into new shapes, they are not set in their ways, or dully prefabricated. There's a compelling, vulnerable person inside ... and so much more. She's willing to follow an impulse wherever it leads. To go so far, and no further; to turn aside, and notice something else. These poems are genuinely unpredictable, a rare thing, and their momentary stances or voice-postures have about them an air of irrepressible fiat. They can be epigrammatic -- "A match strikes between / what we feel for those we know and / the bewilderment of strangers" -- but often refuse the consolations of knowledge, exploding the urge to wallpaper the world with tedious explanation.' Vidyan Ravinthiran, Poetry Book Society, 'Here is a poet who wants to "speak in our/plainest tongues" but who also aims "to sing my way out."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
