Robert Miltner's Ohio Apertures is a collection of brief pieces of creative
nonfiction that turns its attention to northeast Ohio's position as both a Great
Lakes state and the north coast of America. Its two dozen selections, which
include flash memoir, lyric essays, narrative nonfiction, literary nonfiction,
travel writing, and historical excavations of place, trace the author's life from
early childhood onward, offering a template for understanding the impact
of place, region, family, literacy, and cultural influence on the shaping of a
Midwest identity.
