 | Landing at Night Deborah Miller The strong tight poems in Deborah Miller's third poetry collection Landing at Night explore what happens when we find ourselves negotiating, unprepared and vulnerable, dark and previously unknown territories. With a remarkable range of voice, these poems move seamlessly from the richly comic to the most desolate feelings, from the personal to the social, as Miller examines the discovery of sex, motherhood, losing parents, rediscovering sex, aging, engaging with life, running away, and finally coming to terms with, and embracing, life's multi-faceted tragi-comic craziness. It would be a poor reader who was not moved to both tears and laughter when reading these accessible and emotionally powerful poems from a poet whose work is constantly deepening in texture and ranging more widely in subject and feeling. This is a remarkably accomplished collection, which should put Deborah Miller squarely in the ranks of Canada's best poets. |
