Overview

The thrust of these fine literary poems is the butcher's bill of war. They bear tribute that Miller is one of our finest current war poets. -David Willson, Veteran, Books in Review Miller has been able to find the right expression to convey the grunt horror of war and the grim reality of it that survivors have to live with. His is not pretty poetry, not self-indulgent I-saying. These poems are stark narratives, at times almost lyrical but always short as a rifle burst and yet understated, though filled with the blood, guts, and confusion of war. -Jim Barnes
