Selected Poems - Nancy Anne Miller

The Selected Poems Of Bermudian Poet Nancy Anne Miller Traces The Decades She Has Been Writing About Her Homeland, With The Use Of Image Metaphor As Her Primary Tool For Revealing Bermudas Complexities. Her Choice Of This Technique Is To Consciously Break Apart Linear Intentional Thinking Or The Masculine Sentence As Woolf Referenced.for Miller, The Use Of Image Metaphor Allows A Poems Meaning To Radiate Across The Entire Poem As One Thing Is Reflected Through Another In A Circular Movement, Hence Preventing One Final Climatic Interpretation. She States: The Islands History Cannot Be Written Down In A Straight Line And Sees This As A Female-voiced Way Of Being A Poet, One That Is Inclusive, Layered, And Exploratory.these Taut, Image-dense Poems Provide (among Other Things) A Kind Of Time-lapse Record Of Bermudas History, Showing How An Entire Empire Hangs In The Chintz Curtain.
