Books with author Kathryn Miller

The day my life changed forever was a Sunday. A Sunday afternoon. 5:46 on the last Sunday in summer, if I’m being precise. Of course, I didn’t realise then that my entire life had altered, that my very understanding of the universe would soon be challenged completely - but I think I did feel a shift. A clicking into place. The ever so slight move sideways of everything, as though all the cells, atoms and molecules in the world had suddenly decided to dance, one step to the right.It was as though I’d always been waiting, without realising. Everything had been in a holding pattern around me and now it was all ready to land.But I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll start over.Cohasset Island is pretty, atmospheric and fog-bound but never exciting. Or so Eloise thinks. She's 17 and still waiting for life to start. But with the arrival of the new transfer from England, Eloise gets more than she bargained for. Oliver is beautiful, talented and sexy and, more importantly, interested in her. Her junior year looks set to fly by. But then there are the storms, the mood swings, the strange disappearances. As Eloise's future becomes inextricably linked with Oliver's she realises, perhaps too late, that she now part of a strange and wonderous world she had no idea existed. And that world is very dangerous.

Can the world be seen in black and white? Perhaps. Newborn feet ink birth certificates. Father's stethoscope hangs from the lab coat in his closet. Border collies look at the world in plain darks and lights, never marveling at the wonders of rainbows. Kate Miller explores our world through verse in this collection, finding in blacks and whites some of the most colorful images of everyday life. Her simple, inviting monotype prints will attract even reluctant poetry readers.
