Our childhood such a large cellar with no bulb.
Jane Miller brings a painterly eye to the elegiac in an ambitiously
linked sequence that explores ecstasy and desire, memory and loss, the
ancient and the ultramodern. Suggesting the thunderbird of Native
American lore as readily as modern American warfare, Thunderbird is a
book of mourning and loss redeemed by the body and the mind.
Jane Miller is the author of nine books of poetry, including A
Palace of Pearls (Copper Canyon Press, 2005), which won the Audre Lorde
Prize. Miller teaches at the University of Arizona and lives in Tucson,
Arizona.
