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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Sample Poem]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Illness in Old Age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcerned about worrying about her\u003cbr\u003eruminating about his health concerns, \u003cbr\u003ehe keeps them to himself, which worries her\u003cbr\u003ewith everything she fears he will not say, \u003cbr\u003ebut this, he reasons, leaves them at least free\u003cbr\u003efrom her hooks sunk in his reality, \u003cbr\u003echasing and thrashing, thrashing and chasing it, \u003cbr\u003eher great white whale; she's Ahab to his wounds.\u003cbr\u003eThey love each other, tethered to their tales, \u003cbr\u003ethe deeps each keeps, shared silences their sails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheep Meadow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheep Meadow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937679958","brand":"Sheep Meadow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48296607907977,"sku":"9781937679958","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_dfc07bd5-81fe-4ae0-9478-36e169c99bb1.jpg?v=1788843763","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/green-runs-through-it-9781937679958","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
