Canticle for Remnant Days - Jane C Miller - Bog

What a pleasure, spending time with the soulful poems in Jane C. Miller's debut collection, Canticle for Remnant Days. Miller's work is haunted by time, by the poet's awareness of her own mortality, and by the ache she feels when contemplating the vulnerability of those she loves-and yet, far from being pessimistic, these skillfully crafted poems are full of hope and tenderness. Like a scientist, Miller takes the measure of what she sees. Like an alchemist, she distills. And like an ecstatic, she winds it all together into a rich song of praise.-James Arthur, author of The Suicide's Son
