Who Are We?
Last Poems: 2016–2017
Edith Hoisington Miller
“In this beautiful collection from the last year of Edith’s life, … dynamic movement and energy … is interwoven with a magical quietness — the special holy stillness in which one is but a tiny speck in an indescribably beautiful world.
“Edith Miller asks questions — questions about who we are … She continually compels us to look outside of our “puffed up” human existence, to come to quiet so that we can learn to see, with unclouded eyes, the world that surround us. … With a feeling of urgency, she asks us to open ourselves to it all.
“Edith’s poems do not provide answers, but lead us to ask our own questions. This collection of poems may be small, but it is mighty.”
– from the Foreword by Janet Thom Hammock
