Hear from local poet Kevin Miller as he reads from his new book "Vanish."
Turn the pages of "Vanish" and you're met by beguiling surprises: quirky narratives, the heartfelt voice, jazzy soliloquy, and lyric meditation. These poems feel pressured into being by what remains peripheral: at the edges of memory, at the rim of experience.
—Nance Van Winckel, author of Our Foreigner.
