Review of Dawn Noon Dusk Midnight, Austin Miles

Summer 2026

In his review of the poetry collection Dawn Noon Dusk Midnight by Caroline Rayner and Miri Karraker, Austin Miles considers collaboration as technique and poetic performance. Situating this collection in within a poetics of dailiness and duration, Miles inspects the ways Rayner and Karraker work together towards performing a refraction of self through the other, or one another—the mundane experiences of thinking, conversation, getting through a day, and their tendency to de- and re-compose subjectivity by compelling a passage through intersubjectivity—cast into the shape of a text.
