Bøger af Blair Miller

Bring Me My Hands is the first collection of poetry by Blair Miller, whose published work includes fiction and non-fiction. (His second collection, Everyone Else Has an Umbrella, is due out later in 2014.) This collection attempts to detail a space balanced between loss and renewal. It does so with simple blocks that build something solid to stand on, hurt, and take off from.

"Though this second offering from Blair Miller may be more stylistically diverse than his first collection, the poems are tied together by the clear voice of a confident teacher/storyteller. Even the most weighty subject matter is wrapped in such a cool delivery that I got the feeling of learning philosophy from a 12-bar blues jam." - Robert James Cooney, authour of Poems for the Duke

Blair Miller tells the story of the motion picture industry as it developed in Jacksonville after the turn of the twentieth century. Almost Hollywood reveals the meteoric rise and fall of Jacksonville in early silent films.

Many movie genres developed during the silent era, but none was as lasting as comedies. This reference work covers the people, studios, technical companies and terms associated with silent film comedy. It also includes a capsule biography, with birth and death rates and a summary of their contribution to the genre.
