Belt Loops & Bird Food , Collected Poems 2002 - 2009

Poetry, once only the domain of the upper class and educated caste, is now a way for everyday people to see the world, to interpret the mundane into something deeper, perhaps even a universal identification of the human experience. The poet Elias Miller has the ability to compress meaning, create word play, soundscapes and generate insights in a small space. Belt Loops & Bird Food establishes a context of common experience that anchors meaning and builds an identification with the reader in ways that are moving and often stunning.
