Alphabet Year

Arts & Literature

“In Alphabet Year, Miller-Duggan tests whether we know the world, and our language, as well as we think. Through inventively paired poems, she alternately frames this as a philosophical dilemma--how to categorize the seasons, speak of angels, or know if the holy abides in disaster--and as a more immediate crisis of how, amidst dark days, we are to make lives with our miraculous, wounded loved ones. An ambitious triumph of avant-garde formalism.”
