Dennis Miller – författare

Now, I don''t want to get off on a rant here   The New York Times called Dennis Miller''s The Rants "a pleasing mix of profanity and wit...that will make fans of his irreverent liberal angst laugh out loud." Readers across the nation clearly agreed, because the book stayed on the Times hardcover bestseller list for months, with more than 130,000 copies in print. Now, an even broader audience can discover Miller''s stinging wit in paperback.Dennis Miller respects no boundaries. Whether the subject is dope-addled baseball players who can no longer swing their bats, do-nothing politicians who devote their careers to creating meaningful sound bites, or the nation''s resigned acceptance of violence as a way of American life, these thematically arranged monologues are funny and angry. More significantly, they shatter the conventions of comedy by simultaneously making us laugh, think, and seethe. When Miller takes the stage, the audience demands, "the rants, the rants, the rants." Here is the collection of his invigorating and thought-provoking monologues that showcase his singular point of view.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Dennis Miller is back, and he is Ranting Again in this hilarious compendium of wit, wisdom, and righteous outrage.  This is good news for all of us who fume at the country''s lack of common sense, and seethe at the absurdity of the daily headlines.Setting his sights higher and wider than ever before, Dennis Miller is at the top of his game, unleashing his unique brand of scathing wit on anything and everything.  Taking on such targets as illegal immigration, the sobriety movement, the American school system, and men who wear tight T-shirts even though they have big breasts, Miller proves that nobody is safe from his hilarious yet hard-hitting scrutiny.Showcasing Dennis Miller''s trademark blend of wide-ranging allusions, thought-provoking insights, and outrageous opinions, Ranting Again is a brilliant collection that is his sharpest and funniest yet.

A magnificently illustrated oral history of an important movement in American art and design, published to coincide with an exhibition at the New York School of Interior Design, opening September 2026.In the 1970s, as the strictures of modernism dissolved and seemingly every creative field opened itself to restless experimentation, artists and designers began to feel that in furniture, too, everything was possible. The next quarter century saw an amazing flourishing of furniture as art. Creators like Wendell Castle, Wendy Maruyama, Thomas Hucker, Roseanne Somerson, James Hong, Terence Main, and Howard Meister saw their pieces avidly collected by the public as well as leading museums. This handsome volume, perhaps the most extensive ever published on the subject, tells the story of the Furniture Movement in its protagonists’ own words, illustrated with vibrant photography of their key works. It gathers fascinating, in-depth interviews not only with the preeminent furniture artists but also with the curators and gallerists who nurtured and promoted their work. A valuable introduction traces the history of the movement and places it in a broader cultural context. Art & Furniture will be an essential addition to any bookshelf of art and design.

The poems in this book are original poems that I have written myself. I wrote these poems with the idea of making them around my own life experiences, which I thought pretty much everybody would be able to relate to. I try to be as vague as I can in hopes that people will be able to read my material and think about how they can relate that to something similar that they may have experienced.
