About the Book

“Milo pays attention to the small details that define important moments: the rattling bones of a dead leaf, the prow of the boat biting into a sandy beach, the lipstick smile, the wet yellow-brown bath towel, the muffled slugging of a heart.  When we look with him into these isolated experiences, we sense that like the speaker in each poem, we too are isolated, are spectators even to our own lives, engaging only momentarily with the reality and then stepping back to assess self, setting, and the other.—Helen Godfrey Pyke Southern Adventist University
