Poetry. Jorie Graham says of this poet: Jane Miller is an
extraordinary poet ... an astoundingly supple voice. Her seventh
collection of poems is in part a literary homage to Hiroshige,
Japan's master print artist who immortalized scenes along the
Tokaido, the Eastern Sea Road. One obeys nature and thinks of the
rest of the journey/ in straw sandals and a paper hat. The leaves
larger/ and light longer. I could do it in my sleep,/ my head a
roadway peppered with mountain passes (Rising Smoke). Like
Hiroshige's prints, Miller's poems are a window through which we
view the joyous details of the difficult lives of innkeepers,
cooks, porters, wrestlers, and men and women of the pleasure
quarter. She freely draws from Hiroshige's world to illuminate the
cultural and moral grounding of the nuclear age.
