Synopsis

"In Amy Miller's The Trouble with New England Girls, love can make you leave, akiss can make you stay, and floral apologies are so endangered they're illegal butoffered anyway. These poems track a wolf through Oregon and track grief acrossits shifting portraits, but whatever the metaphors pursued here, you never see theend coming. Miller knows what one line can do to another and how an image canmake a poem open. Beauty is found in laundromats and pictures of food and fromthe perspective of drones, in all the places we never expected to find ourselves, andevery 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 withtenderness while wielding metaphors like signal flags. This is assured writing. You will want more. I do."--Allan Peterson, author of Fragile Acts and Precarious
