| From more than nine
hundred poems left behind at the poet's death, Donald Justice has
chosen the seventy-four representative works that comprise The
Comma After Love.
By turns rueful and amused, intimate and restrained, these poems speak
movingly about the difficulties of love and faith, the pleasure of
friendship and poetry, the loneliness and disappointments of the
solitary life. In his introduction to this volume, Donald Justice calls
Raeburn Miller "a natural poet who found writing a thing he did simply
as a part, an important part, of staying alive," and discovers in these
poems an "expansive and unshakably romantic spirit that drives the work
and in the end proves exhilarating."
"Raeburn Miller
continued to work in his own quiet way, convinced, surely, that his
work was worth the effort and that someday, perhaps after death, a
larger reading public would come to recognize its value.
This volume provides that opportunity for those who knew his work and
those who were denied that privilege." The Collected Poems of Raeburn Miller, available on CD-ROM, is a digital volume of Raeburn Miller's poetry. By turns rueful and amused, intimate and restrained, these poems speak movingly about the difficulties of love and faith, the pleasures of friendship and poetry, the loneliness and disappointments of the solitary life.
