BODYWEARERS
By Connie Colwell Miller
Whether Miller speaks of a red-tailed hawk hunting for mice or a lover’s underwear crumpled up on the bedroom floor, her voice is filled with a revealing breath of candor, drawing our attention to the small details in nature and of the body, often showing us beauty where we may not have expected it..
BODYWEARERS BLURB:
“If we were angels, bodiless and pure, we would sing for all eternity. Connie Colwell Miller’s poems wonder how the body, with its baggy wardrobe of needs, could ever permit such music. But the body is a means. And Miller’s poems are less about leaving the flesh behind and more about discovering how the flaws and desires of daily living operate to bring a second life out into the open.”—Richard Robbins, author of The Untested Hand and Other Americas

"Miller's poems illuminate those ordinary moments which, taken together, compose a life. . . . reminding us of the joys, as well as the aches, of our physicality." — Minneapolis StarTribune
