Leslie Adrienne Miller’s Y is difficult: dense with image, crowded with sound, a book that is willing to puzzle over a lifetime of mysteries, regardless of size. “Voracious” best describes the attention underpinning the collection, as it gobbles up everything from Roget to Rukeyser, feral children to Elmer Fudd. A full fifth of the poems are centos, collaged from bewildering sources. If Y appeared as a question on a multiple-choice test, the answer would be “all of the above.” Still, the choices Miller makes are not haphazard; they are instead brutally calculating. —The Rumpus
Y wallops the reader with its quiet power . . . —The Literary Review“
“The raw sinews of muscle stirring at the heart of Miller’s poems were formed with soul-traveling in mind; mere flesh cannot contain them, though flesh is what inspired them.”—Star Tribune
“Taking a bite out of life is daunting and thrilling, as Miller’s sage new poems show. Eat Quite Everything You See follows Miller’s steps–in all their imaginative, thoughtful, stumbling elegance–toward an unexpected goal: not marriage, not children, but an intelligently measured inner journey.” ―Molly Peacock
