Poetry Reading

Kevin Miller

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.

"Vanish" is the winner of the Wandering Aengus Book Award, and Kevin Miller’s fourth poetry collection. Pleasure Boat Studio published Miller’s third collection "Home & Away: The Old Town Poems" in 2009. Blue Begonia Press published "Everywhere Was Far" in 1998 and "Light That Whispers Morning," winner of the Bumbershoot Publication Prize in 1994. He has received grants from Artist Trust, Tacoma Arts Commission, and was a member of the Jack Straw Writers Program. He was a Fulbright Teacher in Denmark and taught in the public schools of Washington state for 39 years. He divides his time between Tacoma, Washington, and the Oregon high desert.
