Tacking Lessons

Résumé du livre

In her new poetry collection, poet, memoirist and musician Nancy Bailey Miller takes the reader with her into the tricky waters she navigates like the gifted verbal sailor she is: dreams, memory, family history, shifting relationships, the familiar seen as with the fresh eyes of the traveler, the unfamiliar tamed and rendered ours, new places and situations explored by a mind blessed by restlessness and keen powers of observation. Like the musician she is, Nancy Bailey Miller always appeals to the ear, as well as the mind and eye, whether in supple free verse or in such traditional forms as the sonnet, villanelle and triolet, often experimentally, always in a steady voice the reader trusts.
