Graywolf Press Book Launch with Leslie Adrienne Miller
 
Come celebrate Leslie Adrienne Miller’s new volume of poetry Y with Graywolf Press. Y is poet Leslie Adrienne Miller’s book of the looming child, the son, the cipher, the letter for which a math problem seeks a solution. Collaging lyric investigation, personal reflection, and hard research into psychology and childhood development, Miller describes motherhood with a broad-ranging intelligence, a fierce humor, and an elegant, emotive poetic line.

“Leslie Adrienne Miller knows extraordinary secrets and tells them with searing clarity—about how love is a necessity, a comfort, an itch and an ache, the nexus where hope and fear and the image of the self and the world come together, or (more often) fail to.”—Rosellen Brown

“The raw sinews of muscle stirring at the heart of Miller’s poems were formed with soul-traveling in mind; mere flesh cannot contain them, though flesh is what inspired them.” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
