'For much of each day, we hide what is in our hearts, tuck away the child in us, and save our more curious or adventurous thoughts for 'some other time'. Geoff Miller's poems draw the heart, the child, and the most elusive of contemplations lovingly onto the page. Read these poems. For their tenderness. For their playfulness. And for the pleasures of an attentive and gentle mind. Memory Creases is a delightful second collection from the warmth and wisdom of a poet well worth engaging with.' - Kristen Lang
