Poetry, once only the domain of the upper class and educated caste, is now a way for everyday people to see the world, to interpret the mundane into something deeper, perhaps even a universal identification of the human experience. The poet Elias Miller has the ability to compress meaning, create word play, soundscapes and generate insights in a small space. Belt Loops Bird Food establishes a context of common experience that anchors meaning and builds an identification with the reader in ways that are moving and often stunning.

The poem is a world on its own that reflects the depth of human universality. By nature, it moves the reader to inner reaches of their own feelings and identity. In his latest collection, Elias Miller takes the reader on ten years of his journey, condensing his reality into poetic points of insight, emotion, and thought, and presenting them with a continued love of sound and rhythm. He explores themes characteristic of middle-age as well as the search for meaning in an increasingly materialistic society. His is the darker voice of Generation X, of latch-key kids raised on TV, embodying the absence of guidance in an ever-changing world, post-truth, post-faith, post-understanding, resulting in a brand of feelings-based solipsism. These poems reflect the dark spots of his mind now open to daylight. Read them out loud for the full experience.
