Through recurring dreams of grandeur, self-sabotage, and defeat, Benjamin Millers collection Without Compass explores the desert margins between faith and emptiness, between desire and its counterfeits.

In this debut collection of lyric poems, self-doubt becomes sacrificial offering
BENJAMIN MILLER has degrees from Harvard and Columbia, and studies Composition and Rhetoric at the CUNY Graduate Center.
