Flatlanders View

In this début collection Joseph Miller pays tribute to his life. Buzzing with gritty inner-city Canadiana crackling with wit thrumming with deep love and intimacy these poems acknowledge sorrow and celebrate beauty. Asparagus grows from a pile of manure. Sunlight sneaks through the window of a house where a woman is sick with cancer. A sparrow sings despite everything. <br /><br />With his home province of Saskatchewan as a rolling backdrop Miller takes readers on a journey through personal struggles-such as his wife's illness and his work as executive director of a Christian rescue mission-and through some of society's historical and even recent challenges such as COVID-19.<br /><br />Unescapably honest and reassuringly wise A Flatlanders View offers hope in the strangest darkest moments of humanity.
