Compressed, knotty poems of intimacy and grief
Greg Miller's best book yet, Green Runs Through It moves against the contemporary American grain. Compressed, knotty, and direct, the poems invoke friendship, family, history, and intimacy's many forms. Grief registers love strong as death. Poems defy boundaries between life and death, the clear and the inexplicable. Narratives, meditations, dream visions, and lyric songs confront the frailties of the body and mind, his voice finding solace in the natural world and a felt interconnectedness between human beings. Memory challenges and is challenged while embracing a confounding totality.
[Sample Poem]
An Illness in Old Age
Concerned about worrying about her
ruminating about his health concerns,
he keeps them to himself, which worries her
with everything she fears he will not say,
but this, he reasons, leaves them at least free
from her hooks sunk in his reality,
chasing and thrashing, thrashing and chasing it,
her great white whale; she's Ahab to his wounds.
They love each other, tethered to their tales,
the deeps each keeps, shared silences their sails.
