| Abstract | "Floyd-Miller's third collection of poems explores the infinite manifestations of heat in the human experience. She moves comfortably from issues of public history and personal identity to the musings of revered icons. These poems hold reverie, history and present moments in images that burn beneath every line"--Back of book |
