Michael Anton Miller

Michael Anton Miller is a citizen of earth and like all his fellow travelers, a tourist on the sands of time. As Harold Bloom calls himself an unchurched Jewish gnostic, so this author calls himself an unchurched Christian gnostic, which he believes should be considered his best qualification for having written Hard Rain Slow Train: Passages About Dylan. As an inconsequential matter of fact, a number of his essays and poems have appeared since 1988 in various small magazines, most notably in Journal for Anthroposophy, in the educational journal Renewal, as well as in the Belgium journal Initiations. His 1990 essay, "Sex And The Trinity (A Meditation)," after first appearing in Journal for Anthroposophy, was later reprinted in South Africa. Chapter Three of Hard Rain/Slow Train, which first appeared in Journal for Anthroposophy, was included in the anthology The Riddle of America, edited by John Wulsin. As for his education, the author regards himself primarily an autodidact and, in Virginia Woolf's sense of the word, a common reader.
