Deciphering the Desert: a book of poems
The fifty-three poems in Deciphering the Desert by Susan Cummins Miller, award-winning author of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, arise from the mysteries that surround us in the intersections of landscape, science, history, prehistory, and Time. These poems excavate what lies behind, beneath, and beyond surface observations and experiences-the extraordinary in the commonplace-and they capture the healing power and renewal to be found in the desert West.
