These poems by Nancy Anne Miller, reflecting her formation in Bermuda, are elegant and rich with implication. Fragments of memory, they depict an environment of privilege with membership to an exclusive club. The sea is always present, in sea creatures treated with respect, by Bermudians holidaying, and in family memory of a shipwreck long ago. Every Civilization is a rewarding book.
-Mervyn Morris, former Poet Laureate of Jamaica
These poems are incantations. Creation songs. Nancy Anne Miller sings into being her home islands, the sea, nature. This is how the poems wash over me, leaving me populated with the most fragrant, strange, and beautiful things.
-Justen Ahren, former Poet Laureate of Martha's Vineyard
