"These two directions in Miller's
poetry - the critique of the material world and the approach to the
spiritual - are intricately interconnected, and by no means mutually
exclusive. Indeed, they seem to form part of a deeply felt ethical
imperative at work in his poetry: an imperative which forges its social
critique on the basis of an ethical spirituality."
Tim Woods, The Poet's Voice
"...a kind of poésie noire, an
urban poetry of shadows and glimpses, street lamps and whispers. The
crucial relationship between word and life is ultimately mysterious,
inimitable and unknowable, yet its existence surfaces most convincingly in
the poem."
Fred Muratori (on Stromata), American Book Review
"In all of Miller's work there is
this precision and fullness, the act of writing becoming a way of dreaming
more fully.... Of all the present writers in English... Miller is the
closest to Mallarmé, not in any formal or recognisable imitation, but in
the way both behave when they write. What Julia Kristeva learned from her
analysis of the great Symbolist poet could probably be discerned as easily
from Miller's poetry. This is high praise indeed."
Tim Allen, Terrible Work
