Michael Miller's poems focus on the intimacies and complexities of love, family, waking life, and "the space between dreams." He continues to show in another insightful book his mastery of the human voice and heart.

SLEEVE
In the rear-view mirror
They vanish, the maples
With ice-coated branches
Drawing me back to the magicians
Of childhood who made things
Appear, disappear,
Their top hats and wands
Vivid in the long mirror
Of memory. Innocence still
Lives inside me, silent as
The space between dreams,
Waiting to be pulled out
Of a sleeve, its white wings
Fluttering into the air.
