Dot-to-Dot, Oregon is a unique poetry book. The author, Sid Miller, spent about a year and a half traveling through Oregon, using the stops along the way as inspiration for his poetry. While some are focused on descriptions, others chronicle events during his travels. The poetry is very descriptive, and is an interesting look at Oregon.
As a resident of Oregon, I find this collection of poetry inspiring, making me want to wander around the state, especially to Corvallis, Ashland, and more of the coast than I have yet visited. Also, his description of Seaside, Oregon is just as I remember it. The book is brimming with lively detail.
I really liked the idea behind this collection of poems of taking a road trip through Oregon. Many of Oregon's towns and cities get through own poem based off of the author's first impressions as he drives through for a couple of hours. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Oregon and the variety it provides in scenery and people. It's also a way to get to know Oregon if you can't travel a lot.
