Moving through a surreal world filled with art museums, parks, urban environments, and road trips between cities, Milkereit's newest collection of poetry delivers modern romanticism at its best. His work brings laughter and delight, even as it explores feelings of solitude, alienation, and yearning. His poems glisten with the tears that accompany COVID. Yet Milkereit is a deft magician who transforms tragedy into both tenderness and comedy. This poet pulls no punches. His sonnets cast a magic spell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e-Gabrielle Langley, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eAzaleas on Fire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eFairy Tale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMilkereit's poetry is about love in the time of corona: his words tenderly, beautifully, examine the fears we live with and the ideas that divide us.
