Description: We the Jury by Wayne Miller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "A book of dark and sometimes surreal love poems from the heart of a man to his wife, his children, his nation, and his past." -JERICHO BROWN Publisher Description Winner of the2022 Colorado Book Award for PoetryA boy asks his father what it means to die; a poet wonders whether we can truly know anothers thoughts; a man tries to understand how extreme violence and grace can occupy the same space. These are the questions Wayne Miller tackles inWe the Jury: the hard ones, the impossible ones.From an academic dinner party disturbingin its crassness and disaffection to a family struggling to communicate gently the permanence of death, Miller situates his poems indilemma. He faces moments of profound discomfort, grief, and even joy with a philosophers curiosity, a fathers compassion, and an overarching inquiry at the crossroads of ethics and art: what is the poets role in making sense of human behavior? A bomb craterturnedlake "exploding with lilies," a home lost during the late-aughts housing crash-these images and others, powerful and resonant, attempt to answer that question.Candid and vulnerable, Miller sits with us while we puzzle: we all wish we knew what to tell our children about death. But he also pushes past this and other uncertainties, vowing-and inviting us-to "expand our relationship / with Death," and with every challenging, uncomfortable subject we meet. In the face of questions that seem impossible to answer,We the Juryoffers not a shrug, but curiosity, transparency, a throwing of the arms wide.
