Millennial is available for purchase from White Stag Publishing here.

An archetypal imagination knows a shiny green balloon tumbling on the shoulder is a signal in the noise: “Have you noticed how all errands are trysts with gods,” Kelly Egan asks in Millennial.  Be notified, and enjoy these dispatches for future robot news, a “walk to the edge of the map,” their intimate wild thought.

"I publish this poem to your ear,” says the voice in this astounding debut volume. This single poem moves by the logic of association, through the world experienced, as if for the first time again and again, with a kind of stunned gratitude: “A heroic dose of morning/ Asleep on the shores of the Salton Sea/ I thanked the sea and left.” This poet is on a great journey, and her unit of measure is the line, which she has mastered. The logic of these poems is utterly original, and totally convincing: "I am not married but look I have this pile of quaint pink luggage…” I loved reading this book, and will treasure it as the first of many volumes sure to be written by this emerging star.

— Matthew Zapruder, Father’s Day and Story of a Poem

"In Millennial, Kelly Egan plays with time in a refreshing, flexible way that highlights language and location as places where memories are stored. By questioning the linear nature of time, these poems invite the reader into a world where ancestors are always present, and where the past and future are permitted to be events that unfold in the present. "
