This new volume from the fine American poet, Peggy Miller, succeeds in revealing harmony in the intricacies of the universe. She explores the many ways we connect to all that lives. Intrinsic to her theme is a confidence that the human spirit will prevail ‘in a shower of timeless light.’ Miller writes, ‘If only at some/ deeper and undiscovered dissection of particle,/ the stuff we’re made of is infinitely old.’ The reader’s mind is exercised and enlightened by this exquisite, sharply focused book. It demands frequent reading, and rewards the reader with broad insights into existence.
