I find myself describing the quotidian mystery of buttercups thick as stars in the grass as I walk the dog in the morning. Brenda Miller's own lyric honesty inspires one.

"The body knows a language the mind never wholly masters." In this remarkable debut collection--essentially a memoir in essay form--Brenda Miller creates an autobiography that locates her body as its central reference point. Single and unable to bear children of her own, Miller details a life in relationship to the extended human family, a journey that traverses realms physical, emotional, and spiritual. "Miller shows us that a love of language is not merely the province of the poet, but that in the hands of a skillful and original prose writer, the essay becomes, in its own fashion, an ode, an elegy, a sonnet, a sestina."--Robin Hemley "These sensuous, memorable essays are an inquiry into what it is to be a body in a world of bodies, an alert, receptive, physical woman moving through interlocking realms of culture, geography, and spirit."--Mark Doty Marketing Plans: Author tour in the areas in and around Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco, Missoula, and Salt Lake City Newsletter, brochure, catalog, and postcard mailings Advertisements in key literary and trade magazines Reader copies available to booksellers through participation in Book Sense Advance Access Program Brenda Millerhas received two Pushcart Prizes for her work in creative nonfiction, and her essays have been published in periodicals such asThe Sun, Utne Reader, Prairie Schooner, The Georgia Review, andSeneca Review.
