In Andes, John Miller explores the inner travel of the mind and heart, particularly in the encounter of anticipating mourning.

In Andes, John Miller explores the inner travel of the mind and heart, particularly in the encounter of anticipating mourning. The poems as collected represent time, events and thoughts of realizing that his mother was dying. ----- Early Praise ------ The work is universal in that it is visceral, not only the works of the intellect, but deeply felt. We are lucky to have John Miller share them on the page. -Diane Corson, author of Along the Fault of Me What do we do in the face of profound loss? How do we navigate a world where only the present remains certain? In Andes, John Miller confronts these questions with unflinching courage, unveiling "the inestimable power of sorrow" through every carefully wrought line. The future/ may be thunder. But it invites me to/ prepare-among words,/ lift. Miller's poetry offers a rare combination of raw honesty and transcendent beauty, creating a space for quiet reflection and shared humanity. Andes invites readers to explore the maps no one has made yet, as they chart their own journey toward meaning and resilience. -M. L. Lyons, author of Songs from the Multiverse When poets write a collection of poems, often they involve matters of the heart. With John Miller's Andes, he has spoken from his heart. Traversing familial relationships, especially with his mother, continuing affinity for South America, and the life he lives here in America, Miller is certainly aware of matters regarding his heart. Andes is written with imposing attention given to syntax and maxim. Well-thought-of writers of verse are noted for such. Cheers to John Miller for sharing matters of his heart in Andes. -Emmett Wheatfall, author of First Among Beautiful Stars
