Miller won the prestigious Patrick Kavanaugh Award, given annually for the best new Irish poet, with this first collection of sterling work.... Her rhythms are classic and stately, her voice authoritative, her images sharply visual. She is especially good when writing of the predicament of women, caught between desire and need, between the ideal and the mundane--Booklist. "Highly crafted - definitely feminine in voice"--Books Ireland. "These poems approach the world with their own quiet verve, with a gift for idiosyncrasy and a sideways glance at the usual which is in itself unusual...They have wit and music...the celebration they make is definite and poignant"--Eavan Boland.
