With a tender, wised-up voice, J.R. Miller writes about the mysteries of attachment like no one else, reminding us that childhood and adulthood were never separate categories, but continuous, alive, and enmeshed.
With a tender, wised-up voice, J.R. Miller writes about the mysteries of attachment like no one else, reminding us that childhood and adulthood were never separate categories, but continuous, alive, and enmeshed. An excellent debut.

Guns, punches, fishing. Empathy, forgiveness, love. This is what readers should expect from Miller’s astounding debut collection. His work harkens to what it means to me a boy, a man, a father, a human being struggling in this crumbling world.
