Pinning the Bird To the Wall

Poetry. "Devon Miller-Duggan's first book doesn't feel like a first book: the poems exhibit the range, depth and control of a mature poet"--Fleda Brown. These poems are about childhood and raising children, about painting and sewing--and about destruction, about the sea in calm and the sea in storm. Jeanne Murray Walker says that this poetic news of life might be delivered intimately, by "a friend, chatting over the backyard fence."
