Take to the Highway by Bryce Milligan
Take to the Highway is a book about journeys and the intricate memory map of human consciousness. Much of the book was literally written while driving across the expanse of Texas. The poems embody family history, anticipate his mother’s coming death, and embody the reflections of this “poet’s poet” on a life lived along many roads within an interior landscape. Formal and yet deeply personal, the book dares to ask, in the words of reviewer Lorna Dee Cervantes, “Who are you again?”

“Streaming with wisdom and clear mind, Milligan unfolds muraled passages of consciousness come “asunder with some wild desire.” In this shifting play of perception, memory, fast long-line and prose fevers, we are given the “Hallelujah of envisioning, which is the diamond-eyed gift of this superb collection.”-Juan Felipe Herrera, U.S. Poet Laureate and award-winning author
