A writer of poems, plays, essays and fiction, Alice Miller has an MA in Creative Writing from the International Institute of Modern Letters and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she was a Glenn Schaeffer Fellow. Miller grew up in New Zealand and now lives in Vienna after some time in the United States. The poems in her first, extraordinary full-length collection ask you to force yourself beyond your own boundaries. Ours is a life worth losing, Miller says, let's unlace it from its post and see what creature it becomes . . .
