About Dot-to-Dot, Oregon:

"Sid Miller's town-by-town pilgrimage across Oregon is a mini Odyssey alive with insight into the state's enigmatic terrain and working class people. Through bars, markets, and laundromats and from seaside towns to urban hubs, this poet faces some hard truths about himself, his allegiance to place, and to the woman he loves."
—Dorianne Laux

"Proclaiming no 'better way to pass the time than to snoop around,' Sid Miller takes us on a map-dot to map-dot journey; the poems in his witty and wry love song to Oregon are both keenly and compellingly observant. From each town, city, or site, he gleans the quirky particulars that bring its place-name to life. Rich in striking specifics and dark ironies, his voice is ready to celebrate whatever is in front of his eyes and 'not for a second want anything else.'"
—Paulann Petersen
