Compiled by editor, stevenallenmay, Canyons of Sleep layers poems of wakefullness and dreaming, drifting in and out of various states of consciousness. Miltner's poetic depictions of hazy revery is filled wth imagery, both crisp and elusive; and blended in this collection with a startling fluidity that leaves the reader with a feeling of early morning rising.

Where We Go When We Sleep A small room in the basement, a tropical closet: dark, dank, the scent of decayed leaves left in the flower beds until late April; raking those leaves, cupping them in our hands and holding them wet to our faces, then shutting our eyes, tight; imagining some lush and luxurious place smelling of spring and estuary and sex; picturing the colors: forest, fern, grasshopper, avocado, pine, cicada, lime. |
