Brian K. Miller's third book is a short volume of poetry. The themes range from love and romance to war and poverty. Even though these poems are written in free verse, the short lines and clear cadence carry echoes of strict, classical Japanese forms. Natural images abound, but so do urban ones. Perhaps the most important thing to take away from these poems is not their "truth", but their resonance. The writer himself would insist there is no truth here, only one man's highly subjective and often fanciful metaphors hinting at an unseen and unknown reality, the reality of the poet's own longing for something more than life itself can offer.
