Summary:

Reading Miller's poetry has been likened to obtaining tickets to exotic places both real and imagined. In this fourth collection of her verse, she offers a wry and compelling series of wanderings through the ever-changing landscapes of Euorpe. With an inquisitive spirit and a generous sense of humor, Miller investigates the experience of otherness in a foreign land, exploring also the phenomena of human culture, womanhood, independence, desire, and love.
