About this book
Ephemeral observations meet spiritual resilience in B. Miller's poetry debut, Flutter By, composed over the past four years. Perspectives on life's torments and absurdities are starkly confronted, with some solace sprinkled in. This collection is for anyone at the intersection of the abyss and God's caress.
