This collection features a variety of lyrical forms focused on the people, habits, customs, and judgments observed in daily life. The book marks a significant development in Miles's literary career, building upon the critical acclaim garnered by her previous works, Lines at Intersection and Poems on Several Occasions. Her writing is characterized by keen observation, sharp wit, and a detached yet meaningful exploration of the human experience. The volume includes poems previously featured in various literary magazines such as The Kenyon Review, The Southern Review, and Poetry: a Magazine of Verse. As a noted poet of her era, Miles displays a unique ability to capture the specific accent and color of her decade with a humorous, intelligent, and non-malicious lens, reminiscent of the distinct atmosphere found in traditional American town meetings or country stores.",{"@graph":69,"@context":126},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/local-measures-poems-by-josephine-miles/417894/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/local-measures-poems-by-josephine-miles/417894.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Blitz","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118,122],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who
