Jane Miller's eleventh book, Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions, is a hyper-political and brassy collection of poems that questions authority, sexism, ageism, and mortality. Often dark, sometimes funny, and formally interrogative, Who is Trixie? asks, among other queries, how are we to live in this physical world while our souls are scared to death? Images from an all-night party, a round-up of artists amid tanks in the street, a futuristic conceit known as The Pom Pom Room, and a crime scene in Texas, among other heightened events, speed by in a restless style that includes sequences, lists, columns, and haiku. Different from her earlier poems in their range and urgency, these retain Miller's signature lyric voice, always personal and at the same time associative. Her intimate language addresses our current trauma--especially as experienced by women--where human dignity collides with political reality.
