Or maybe I am wrong, maybe I'm the ass who's reading poetry the wrong way. When people talk about poetry, they constantly speak of imagery, which Borrowed I don't really remember where I found this. When people talk about poetry, they constantly speak of imagery, which should also be utilized in fiction too.
But I feel like it should be more than imagery, it should also hit something in you too. But I feel like I talk too much about this, it's all up to the writer and the poet.
So this chapbook, with a title that is way too long and stumble worthy, has everything. From the typical poetry style, prose poem stories, odes, and who knows, maybe a sestina. I can't really say I loved this chapbook, but I will say that this guy, his poetry hand, is quite wonderful. He's great at constructing these words and images, painting a whole lot of absurdity and clarity that morphs so close together, it kind of makes your brain twitch or something.
Surrealist poetry is definitely something that occurs a lot in this book, which I don't mind. There are some that form a coherent story, with magical realism, life snippets, and other random oddities and ordinaries of life. Which is what I liked, it seemed original, it felt new, yet familiar.
But there was something about this book that overwhelmed me. There were some that were too wordy, too chocked full with everything mushed into sentences. I felt like, some of the poems were too, I don't know, too full. They felt as if they were going to combust with it's wordiness and its surrealism.
It was just too much, I don't know, I kind of got a headache from a combination of reading this and school stress. But with a name like Autobiomythography, what would you expect? It nice and cool, but oh my the words.

Jul 16, Sally Maria rated it it was amazing. I came upon Millar because his book was offered free for Kindle. Usually that means mediocrity.
Millar has a unique perspective, a very new and clear voice, and his style seems to synch with one's senses. Certainly all the honors he received for these poems are well-deserved. Thank goodness for happy accidents.
