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.”

miller_nixonpianoThe 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.”

Over two days in 1982, Jim Lommasson photographed the strange and beautiful paintings that decorated the center column of the historic carousel at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon. The original carousel images were a collection of Edwardian-era scenes—a little blond girl clutching a rag doll, a corseted woman beneath a parasol, “exotic” renderings of Arabs and Native Americans—painted by anonymous German and Italian immigrants around 1912. In 1944, two itinerant painters, brothers from Vashon Island, Washington, painted over the eighteen panels. Their paintings featured Oregon landmarks from the coast to the Columbia River Highway and from Mount Hood to Multnomah Falls.
