Of “Ruminations” Miller says, “like most of my work, it started with a series of sounds that became a phrase and then more: “slow motion apocalypse”. We’re living in such a strange and anxious time. In this piece, I wanted to engage both the menace and beauty of that strangeness – while also nursing hope for better days.” A Pushcart nominee, John Miller’s work has appeared in Sheila Na-Gig, Anti-Heroin Chic, Rockvale Review, and elsewhere.
