New Releases by Anne Miller

The Selected Poems of Bermudian poet Nancy Anne Miller traces the decades she has been writing about her homeland, with the use of image metaphor as her primary tool for revealing Bermuda''s complexities. Her choice of this technique is to consciously break apart linear intentional thinking or the masculine sentence as Woolf referenced. For Miller, the use of image metaphor allows a poem''s meaning to radiate across the entire poem as one thing is reflected through another in a circular movement, hence preventing one final climatic interpretation. She states: "The island''s history cannot be written down in a straight line" - and sees this as a female-voiced way of being a poet, one that is inclusive, layered, and exploratory.

The book concludes with a thought-provoking selection of Biblically-inspired poems.

Sex is such an intimate topic historically wrapped in shame and when someone shares they were sexually abused, we may not know how to respond. With recent #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, we are learning just how many men, women, boys, and girls have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted person, often family members or leaders in the church. Sexual abuse is rampant in modern society and now--sometimes many years later--sexual abuse survivors are sharing their stories. Anne Marie Miller is a survivor of childhood clergy sexual abuse and has shared her journey toward healing with audiences all over the world. After speaking with thousands of survivors and their loved ones, she saw the need for a fundamental and practical guide for helping supporters of sexual abuse survivors understand the basics of abuse, trauma, healing, and hope. Drawing from her own experience as a survivor and evidence-based research, Anne addresses these questions and more in Healing Together: What is sexual abuse? How can I help survivors? Who are predators and how do they groom victims? How does trauma affect survivors? What happens when someone doesn''t remember the details of their abuse? How does abuse wound the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of people who have been abused? When and how should authorities be contacted? How do you talk to your children about sexual abuse? What are the warning signs of abuse? Is healing possible? Whether you are a spouse, a family member, a friend, or a church leader looking for easy-to-navigate resources to understand and support sexual abuse survivors, you''ll find answers and hope in these pages.

Verras je vrienden met onnodige maar fascinerende kennis Na het succes van Loeien koeien in het Nederlands?, Het grote boek van nutteloze kennis en onze andere feitenboekjes keert het QI-team weer terug met een nieuwe voorraad feiten die verbazen en die je wijzer maken. Dezelfde succesformule met nieuwe inhoud! We kunnen er geen genoeg van krijgen, van grappige feiten die niet alleen leuk zijn maar die ons ook versteld doen staan en stof tot praten geven: wist je dat er Netflix-sokken bestaan? Als je met die sokken aan naar Netflix kijkt en in slaap valt, zetten je sokken het programma op pauze. En wist je dat er meer mensen overlijden door het maken van selfies dan door haaien? En dat water drinken echt niet helpt tegen een kater? En dat sommige mensen allergisch zijn voor hun eigen zweet? En dat Shakespeares schedel ontbreekt in zijn graf? En dat... Geloof je niet wat je leest? Achter in het boek staat waar de feiten vandaan komen. De pers over de boeken van John Lloyd en John Mitchinson ‘Als je er eenmaal in zit is het moeilijk om je eruit los te maken. Waarom is dit zo verslavend?’ NRC Handelsblad ‘In het nieuwe boek van het QI-team krijg je antwoorden op vragen die je zelf nooit zou stellen.’ Daily Mail ‘Intrigerende, hilarische en totaal verrassende kleine brokjes informatie.’ Daily Mirror

*THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER* ''I love these books ... the best books ever. Brilliant'' Chris Evans A bumper final edition of the most surprising, amazing, and hilarious facts on the planet from the clever-clogs at QI. QI is the smartest comedy show on British television. Here creator John Lloyd and QI Elves James Harkin and Anne Miller bring together 2,024 brain-tickling brand new facts to stop you in your tracks... Did you know that: Humans glow in the dark. The Pope drives a blue Ford Focus. One of the moons of Uranus is called Margaret. Scottish football referees are sponsored by Specsavers. Dogs visiting US National Parks can be certified as Bark Rangers. The world''s smallest computer is smaller than a grain of sand. Candyfloss was invented by a dentist. Nobody knows who named the Earth.

Inspired by her birthplace, Bermuda, Miller successfully blurs the line between exploiting and normalizing the exotic: a seahorse is both the f hole of a cello and a horseshoe pick; the Sand Dollar, an oddity found regularly on the island''s beaches, is compared to an antique star map; a clock in an old supply store is "a porthole with the sea lapping its blue rim." But if they reference and conjure the exotic, Miller''s poems are grounded by the realities of everyday life and by the sometimes troubled cultural dynamics of both her adopted United States and her island home, where "everything seen tribal" and, in the title poem, where someone "claiming a geography of persons the empire sent across the world" dons white gloves to serve sandwiches to "fair English" church-goers. These are poems that are like "the ocean''s ripples when an anchor strikes deep." Paul Sean Maddern, poet, author of The Beachcomber''s Report The poems of Nancy Miller are deliciously rich in imagery and metaphor. There is a subtle complexity of meaning embedded in them, enhanced by her intuitive ability to make music with words. John Lyons. Painter, poet, author of No Apples in Eden: New and Selected poems Nancy Anne Miller pushes each poem of her newest collection, Boiling Hot into a performance of music and meaning. Equipped with an anthropologist''s eye and a polymath''s mind, her poems play with ordinary materials, reveal how the "repeated shedding" of a snake''s skin "leaves the tape measure of what it was." Through Miller''s examination of history and identity, old Empire relics collide with New World knickknacks, poems tackle the thorny legacies of England, Bermuda and New England. In one poem, an antique star map, "round as a crystal ball," harkens the child''s circle of marbles, where "large planets knock out smaller ones: taws hit pewees." Typing on her Olivetti in another poem Miller declares: "If I could make [writing] precise...[and] ceremonial I would." In the deft and dazzling Boiling Hot: she does. Julia Shipley, poet, author of The Academy of Hay, Winner of the 2011 Melissa Lanitis Gregory Poetry Prize

"Beautifully evocative and romantic." - NYT bestselling author, Monica McCarty An eighty-mile trek across the rugged, stunning beauty of Scotland’s Isle of Skye isn''t something I imagined myself doing.

"The best sexual tension I''ve read in a long time—combined with the wonderfully fresh plot and memorable characters, I didn''t put this book down once!" —Lauren Layne, NYT bestselling author I''m scarred. Broken. I''ll never be the same. Ever since my last dive ended in bloodshed, I''ve been terrified to go back into the water. But I need to get my life back. And I''ve convinced myself a semester at sea is the only way to do it. I never expected Tristan MacDougall. Rugged, strong, and with demons of his own, Tristan helps me find the courage I thought I had lost and heals me with every stolen moment we share...even though the rules of the ship mean we can''t be together. But that''s the least of our problems, because my biggest fear has become a reality, and I''m not sure either one of us will survive.

The diptych is an artists device for portraying two equally notable persons or places on two canvases in one frame because they relate so closely to each other. Diptych: Tales of Two portrays two personsDorothy St. John and Charles Thomas Milleras they developed separately in their youth. They went to Argentina together in the thirties and slept in jungle camps inside tent-cabins and cottages built by the big oil company he worked for. They merged their lives with a veritable United Nations of fellow workers and laid the foundation for lives in the civilized world that they rejoined when they went home, full of tall tales and great pictures.

In STAR MAP Nancy Anne Miller writes through the four seasons of Northwestern Connecticut beginning with winter in "It Hints of Madness" with "icicles/ drooling from roofs, constant snow/ a kind of foaming" and ending in autumn, when she opens the poem "Tonic" with "Who knew death could dazzle?" These poems cover the decades Miller has lived in a bucolic setting. They show her early alignment with the British School of Martian Poetry and the years she learned to interpret the seasons through Dickey''s "adventure of metaphor." In the poem "Star Map," "The frost on my windshield with/ connecting white stellar shapes is/ a star map to guide me." The collection steadily maps a Bermudian poet coming to terms with a new country where New England is "Not England" and instead is a place: "four full/ seasons the terrain changes into, / a mad search for identity and whom to be."
