Description
Timely Irreverence is a collection of occasional poems that are sewn together through the inescapable intrusion of poetry itself. With circles of logic that provoke thoughtfulness, the paths of these poems are alluringly complex, and they engage through amusing points of casual living, visceral moments when poetry is permitted to intrude upon the everyday. Whether MillAr is letting a poem pass him by while mowing the grass, or etching it upon himself to make them witness our cliches, Timely Irreverence is filled with the voice of a poet in touch with and opposing his creative spirit.
