Time, Wisdom, & Koalas — David Miller

??? Despite what the first pages may suggest, this is most definitely  not  a children??? s tale.??? Or so we??? re told. It??? s more like what Byron thought about ??? true poetry??? :   that ??? ??? tis the part/ Of a true poet to escape from fiction??? . David Miller escapes from fiction in ??? spirit dreams??? he learned from a certain Koala named Norman, who seems to have passed them along through a certain wombat named Archie. If I told you any more about David??? s escapes you??? d think I was making it up, or maybe that I just dreamed it all. But as David once said ??? I think he was at Felpham ??? ??? you can never tell about these things.???       Jerome McGann
