This is a republication of the first book of poems by Kelly L. Miller. The Riddle and the Dedication includes themes like death, domestic violence, repentance, love, identity, guilt, and depression. This book consists of experiences, observations, feelings, and questions. It’s about figuring out the meaning of life as one lives, life being like a riddle. It’s about piecing the puzzle pieces together along the journey. The point is to enjoy the journey and gain wisdom from it, to live into the solution.
