Wherever You Lay Your Head

by Jane Miller

In this, her seventh collection of poems, Miller redefines poetry to accomodate a richly complex lyric style. Intelligent, lush, and visionary, her poems have been compared as the poetic equivalents of the paintings of Jackson Pollack or Jasper Johns. Miller's poetry is ultra modern, mixing elements of pop culture with high art, sexuality with intellectual investigation, complexity with brilliant lucidity.

[Nicola · Rating 5 out of 5]

I appreciate the scope of this book, ranging between continents, perspectives, times, and more--the enlarged "where" of "ever," which, despite the specificity of time and places and details in this book, I can't help but read as the ever of war for our war-mongering country.

Favorite line: The river is silk.

quite bizarre this offering from Jane Miller, the setting of her book seems to be mostly in Japan, it's an interesting tale she weaves between pagodas and atomic bombs. plutonium and life events. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to poets, poetry lovers and mystic orientalists of all kinds.
