Gagaan X'usyee/Below the Foot of the Sun
Poems
University of Alaska Press
Identity and understanding are fluid and plural, yet the histories of violence and oppression influence and shape everything in the world because the past, present, and future exist in the same plane and at the same time. Gagaan Xʼusyee / Beneath the Foot of the Sun is a unique collection of Indigenous cultural work and Lingít literature in the tradition of Nora Marks Dauenhauer, and in the broader contemporary company of Joy Harjo and Sherwin Bitsui.

Armor & Ornament
University of Alaska Press
Armor & Ornament turns away from the popular trends of contemporary poetry. Miles’ poems take less as their guide the modernists and postmodernists, preferring to call upon Biblical forms. These are Christian poems that have a deep and unapologetic understanding of God’s world, and they explore, with steady faith, all sides of this world. Miles is also a veteran, and much of the poetry centers on war. Through tone and voice, warfare permeates these poems, providing poetry that relies less on the traditional, Christian tension of doubt and shaken faith than on the inherent tension of a broken world.
