Sebastian Milej, as he writes, is capable of 'a crime masked by dignity.' He is a seer into 'being, inlaid and marginal,' who lives in a world of senators and ostriches, of Chopin nocturnes and of 'sham pearls' poured 'over a dark wood floor.' He lives a mightier life than you or I do, one half-immersed in dream, the charged, ambiguous existence of someone who, like Rimbaud, has systematically disordered all his senses and has declared a new, ecstatic kingdom of love. Indeed, he is like Rimbaud when he declares 'I awake to a festival of kisses.' Milej’s radical apprehension of language has revived the root meanings inherent in his startling vocabulary. When he writes about 'the pending season,' we see hanging grapes, just as when he refers to 'the parole of spring' we see the season’s 'word' as well as its clemency. Milej is a poet who belongs to some earlier, more dangerous race of men or gods; he is the deity who can say that he speaks with 'a dazed fly at the base of my teeth.' --- Edmund White

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • poems of exile
    Sebastian Milej
    With my mind in a solemn abyss of thought, with no direct association to anything, no new theories, & no security or validity for the previous ones, I still find an ordinary pleasure in placing the pen in my right hand & touching its tip to a blank page, dispersing its ink, shaping it into known hieroglyphs we’ve adapted as the written language. A vacant simplicity dictates thi...
