Califia Books: "Horrigan first printed Miller's poetry in Protean's delightful collection, A Small Box of Poets (1994 ). She writes, There is no way to adequately categorize Carolyn's writing; each poem evokes its own unique response. Phrases from these poems stay with me for days as they resonate within the patterns of my own life.

"Horrigan has arranged this selection of thirty-eight poems from Miller's latest manuscript according to seasons—both the seasons of the year and the seasons of life. The poems record a passage through time, space and awareness—from recollections of a childhood in Missouri; to reflections on family, relationships, and living in San Francisco; onto ruminations about age and change, loss and grief, and finally acceptance, through the seasons of growth in adulthood. The frontispiece is a giclée reproduction of Miller's painting, Invisible Purple Tulips, Comet."
