Paradise and Other Lost Places

In this collection of poems, Jim Miller asks: "How much pain and sweetness can fit into one man's life?" Miller's Paradise and Other Lost Places looks at subjects as diverse as colonialism, war, nature, labor, love, and loss--giving us moments of stunning realization and personal truth: "There is no describing the vast love that wells up in you when you find yourself in rapture with the stunning, naked radiance of the world."
