Join us for a reading from Jane Miller, who is teaching a poetry class for the Michener Center this Spring and whose eleventh book, Who is Trixie the Trasher? And Other Questions, was published by Copper Canyon Press in 2018.

Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions is a hyper-political and brassy collection of poems that questions authority, sexism, ageism, and romance in the face of mortality. Differing from her earlier poems in their range and urgency, this collection retains Miller’s signature lyric voice, personal yet thrilling in its associative leaps. Her intimate language illuminates and soothes our current trauma―especially as experienced by women―where nightmarish reality must answer to human dignity.

Jane Miller has written eleven books, most recently Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions. The recipient of a Wallace Award for Poetry, a Guggenheim Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, the Western States Book Award, and the Audre Lorde Prize in Poetry, Jane Miller is currently Visiting Poet at The Michener Center for Writers.
