Portland poet and Burnside Review executive editor, Sid Miller, has two new poetry collections now available for purchase. The first, Dot to Dot, Oregon, is an Ooligan Press release and is described as an exploration of “seven routes from the coast to the mountains, from inner-city Portland to the Idaho border. Dot-to-Dot, Oregon, a collection of fifty poems, travels through the cities, towns, and monuments of Oregon. Using these locales as a background, three voices narrate the author’s loving but critical relationship with the state he calls home.”
The second, Nixon on the Piano, was published by David Robert Books who describes the collection as “sometimes droll, sometimes heartbreaking, and always profound. Miller’s gift is to see the world in new and strange ways, and in doing so, to make us see the world anew as well.”
