Why read it?

1 author picked The Collected Poems of E. Ethelbert Miller as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

E. Ethelbert Miller’s poems, deceptively simple, short and pungent, are like pomegranate seeds that burst with sensual pleasure and delight—and rich in ironies and antioxidants. His book covers a humanity of themes: love and suffering,  friendship and loss, betrayal and forgiveness, faith and non-belief. Playful, subtle, never clichéd, profound, his poems should be read and re-read. His work is a wake up call from our daily nightmares of forced migration, slavery, racism, bigotry and dictatorship—in the quest for personal/ social/ political peace and reconciliation.
