In this deeply personal and readable collection, Connor Miller invites readers into the unfiltered interior life of a twenty-something navigating heartbreak, depression, and the search for artistic fulfillment. Written in a minimalist, confessional style akin to diary entries, the poems capture the wistful ache of young adulthood with an honesty that feels both startlingly intimate and universally resonant.
Following the narrator's journey from the Pacific Northwest to Detroit, Farthest Away From Perfect unfolds as a poetic travelogue charting the winding path of growing up, letting go, and embarking on new beginnings. Whether chronicling aimless internet scrolls, reflections on past relationships, or the life-changing decision to relocate, Connor's plainspoken yet incisive verse manages to find beauty and meaning in the mundane.
With its visceral imagery and poetic voyeurism into the author's private experiences, this heartrending collection is a must-read for those drawn to the undressed human condition. Perfect for poetry newbies or anyone yearning for an unvarnished glimpse into the artistic life, these poems will leave you aching yet reassured: we're all just farthest away from perfect.
