The reader roams through rooms, encountering Greek, Judaic and Roman mythology, and through the streets of fifteenth-century Spain and contemporary Rome in Miller's most personal and associative volume.From A Palace of PearlsWe bow our heads for the ancient draping of the gardenia lei in the hotel lobby and are relieved of our possessions as per a reminder that one must enter Paradise a little nakedJane Miller is the author of eight previous books of poetry and essays.
