Review
"Joe Millar's stunning debut collection explores and collides the dual experiences of self and world in a language and music superbly calibrated. There is an authority of voice and a sweep of experience that graces each of these beautifully made poems." --Stuart Dischell, author of Backwards Days, Dig Safe, Evenings & Avenues
"Millar's ambitious first collection shows its strength immediately. Narrative and pastiche combine to defy easy categories. I am especially moved by the series of poems entitled "Memory of the Body," finding in each a living portrait of one cognizant and honest in the minutes of his life." --Claudia Keelan, author of The Devotion Field, Utopic, The Secularist
If consciousness is a stream, then this book is a stream flooded over, a whitewater of understanding and empathy. Inventive and eclectic. --J. C. Hallman, author of The Chess Artist and The Devil is a Gentleman

5.0 out of 5 stars
An articulate, literate flair for expression,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autobiomythography & Gallery (Paperback)
His debut anthology, "Autobiomythography & Gallery: Poems" by poet, novelist, installation artist, and publisher Joe Millar admirably showcases his free verse poetry. An articulate, literate flair for expression, the poetry is especially characterized by its energy and eclecticism. Here is a body of verse that will be read and re-read with enthusiasm and appreciation by those who respect what the written word can achieve with imagination and unexpected perspectives. 'Slight Fit': All clouds are the new/retro.//Each mystifies/the next, an apparition/of apparatus.//Here comes the next big/thing--a camel squeezed through/a needle squeezed through the engines/of a private jet.//Reality is just Time slipping/ion a skin. War is a lonely;/hot date with itself.//Sit back. here's the part/we imagine ourselves.
