A Boy in the City

More about the book

The poetic sequence explores themes of loss and healing through the lens of a boy's experiences in the city. It reflects on personal grief, notably the loss of a mother, while intertwining moments of tenderness and humor. The work pays homage to the Brooklyn Bridge, drawing parallels to Hart Crane's "The Bridge," and captures the emotional resonance of its structure. Miller's verses evoke a sense of continuity and connection, reminiscent of Walt Whitman's exploration of the human spirit amidst sorrow.
