“Miller writes with a lush surrealism that manages to be joyful, urgent and haunted at the same time. Her words span familiar worlds but never stay in them for long: her true mission is to create in a space of imagination that, like the rhythms of the Carnival celebrations that thread through her work, feels more real than reality. Miller is a tremendous talent and a voice for our time and for our tomorrows.”

City in a Seashell features a selection of Caribbean-American Carnival poems, literary sketches, fables, elegies and vignettes evoking personal expressions, memories and ancestors of Antigua, Jamaica and the mystical island of Gabinda. These poems come from an urban-tropical soul, a grieving American daughter of Caribbean parents who have gone on to that magnificent Carnival in the sky, leaving her an immigrant to every island she can find replicated in her city streets.

Tiffany Osedra Miller is from New York City where she teaches poetry and drawing workshops. She was a finalist for the 2020 Calvino Prize and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Threepenny Review and Palette Poetry.
