Being with a Bullet
Poetry. "Somebody once said poetry without rhyme is like playing tennis with the net down. But Stephen Miller's poetry plays a different game in which the relevant phrase is 'nothing but net, ' a series of subtle daggers, long bombs, and slam dunks: sly, funny, artful, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for sports fans and deracinated intellectuals who like being reeled into the net of critically smart poetry" W. J. T. Mitchell."
The Seventies Now
Explores the practice of surveillance the America of the 1970s through the discussion of a wide range of political and cultural phenomena--Watergate, the Ford presidency, Andy Warhol, disco music, the major films of the 70s, writers in the 70s (particular
Any Lie You Tell Will be the Truth
Poetry. "'Isn't intimacy the thin ice / of address?, ' asks Stephen Miller's endlessly jaunty and energetic narrator. And he adds, 'I mean if we become one another.' Throughout this irrepressible series of imaginative intimacies and confrontations (with John Cage, with Frank O'Hara, with Taylor Mead, and dozens of other art personalities we love to read about), Miller never loses his cool, his ability to see contemporary issues and dilemmas from all angles and survive to laugh about them. A delightful book, full of what Wallace Stevens called 'the pleasures of merely circulating.'" Marjorie Perloff"
There's Only One God and You're Not it
Poetry. Jewish Studies. "Stephen Paul Miller has written the most swingin', rockin', jazzy history of Judaism, Jews, and our favorite one and only God there is, that you will ever read. In verse. And if you read it you will have to think about it. While tapping your foot. And is it unbelievably funny to see this maniac of a poet wrestling with a disembodied spirit aided by Plato and Irving Berlin? That too. With Hitchcock and John Cage wagging the dog? Enter this book, you enter Indie Poetry" Alicia Ostriker. "Are Stephen Paul Miller's playful lineated essays Midrashic form?" Thom Donovan."

Arete
From the informal games of Homer's time to the highly organized contests of the Roman world, Miller has compileda trove of ancient sources: Plutarch on boxing, Aristotle on the pentathlon, Philostratos on the buying and selling of victories, Vitruvius on literary competitions, and Xenophon on female body building. Arete offers readers an absorbing lesson in the culture of Greek athletics from the greatest of teachers, the ancients themselves, and demonstrates that the concepts of virtue, skill, pride, valor, and nobility embedded in the word arete are only part of the story from antiquity.
The Book of Angels
Both collectively and individually we have a deep and abiding fascination with angels. This book explores depictions of angels in the visual arts and in scripture and associated apocryphal and mystical writings, specifically in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and Islamic, Zoroastrian and other ancient and latter-day accounts. It examines the visual clues, artistic conventions and attributes that have been set down to help us to recognise angels in their particular roles and functions. Certain writings have had a particularly influential bearing on our understanding of angels. This text focuses on the hierarchies and orders proposed by the likes of Pseudo-Dionysius, St. Thomas Aquinas and oth...
Liberating King
Worship Is Our Remedy Christ has delivered believers from the power of sin, but instead of living in true freedom, we struggle with the same failures every day. This is not how it's supposed to be. We need someone stronger than us to release us from the prison of sin. Enter Jesus, the liberating king. With passion and purpose, worship pastor Stephen Miller calls readers to draw near to Christ in worship, allowing his Word and the Holy Spirit to loose our chains by exposing the lies that imprisoned us in the first place. When we do, we see everything more clearly--from the sinking sand of our man-made security to the solid rock of Jesus's unshakeable power. Miller shows that holy living is within our grasp when we keep our eyes and our adoration on the one who was sent not only to save us, but to make us into new creations.
