There's a bench in Cully, Switzerland. It's in a little park tucked up against the shore of Lake Geneva. I go there a lot to just sit and think, or... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Sid Miller, editor of the Burnside Review, explores seven routes from the coast to the mountains, from inner-city Portland to the Idaho border. Dot-to-Dot, Oregon, a collection of fifty poems, travels through the cities, towns, and monuments of Oregon. Using these locales as a background, three voices narrate the author's loving but critical relationship with the state he calls home.

The concept for this book of poetry is clever: taking a trip through Oregon, to many places that perhaps wouldn’t ordinarily be on a tourist’s list of hot spots (think Philomath instead of the Gorge). The result is rather gritty, darkly humorous snapshots of the author’s experiences within Oregon. As a native Oregonian and a small-town girl, I understood Sid Miller’s ambiguous relationship with the state; I think anyone who has spent time in the Pacific Northwest and who likes poetry would appreciate this read.

As an Oregonian, I loved poems about towns I had been to. With some of the places I am more familiar with, I could feel Sid’s movement through the areas, and loved how he had chosen his driving path because I have driven those paths too. I love local literature because Oregon is not a place many people choose to write about, or at least not as many are published. Sid Miller brings a voice to the overall area that is not often seen, especially in small towns like Hermiston where my mother grew up, or the nontourist towns on the coast, like Reedsport.

I really liked the idea behind this collection of poems of taking a road trip through Oregon. Many of Oregon's towns and cities get through own poem based off of the author's first impressions as he drives through for a couple of hours. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Oregon and the variety it provides in scenery and people. This is also a fun book to read if you want to learn more about Oregon but can't travel a lot.
