In this sharply tuned collection, the poems are varied in form, mostly strong, and very rhythmic. These poems beg to be heard, as well as read. Despite the brutal observations close to Green’s heart, the collection is a patriotic book woven through with hope for a better United States. Jay Green is a promising up-and-coming talent in contemporary American poetry, and will certainly make a name for himself if this is the quality of work he produces so early in his career.

Green’s milieu is an ode to America and a product of its time, grappling with the nuance-less chaos that has taken hold of
political conversations as a result of social media capitalizing on disunion. This collection is filled with poignant metaphors and descriptive imagery that effectively conveys the speaker’s views, but some of the poems may stand in the way of a greater whole.
MILIEU offers a thought-provoking, intelligent, and sometimes controversial panorama of what it’s like to live on this planet in the early 21st century. Whether readers empathize with or vehemently eschew the author’s sentiments, author Jay Green has a relevant voice that demands to be heard.
milieu is a book aimed at providing social commentary on contemporary issues in the form of poetry. In a short work of twenty-three poems, the author attempts to have each poem address different phenomena that occurs in modern American society such as race, sex, human right, etc.
