Deciphering the Desert

<p>The fifty-three poems in <em>Deciphering the Desert </em>by Susan Cummins Miller award-winning author of fiction nonfiction and poetry<em> </em>arise from the mysteries that surround us in the intersections of landscape science history prehistory and Time. These poems excavate what lies behind beneath and beyond surface observations and experiences-the extraordinary in the commonplace-and they capture the healing power and renewal to be found in the desert West.</p>
