This is a republication of the first book of poems by Kelly L. Miller. The poetry in this compilation covers a large period in her life. The Riddle and the Dedication includes the themes death, domestic violence, repentance, love, identity, guilt, depression, personality, happiness, and family. This book consists of experience, observation, thoughts, 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. It’s about the journey more so than the destination. The point is to enjoy the journey and gain wisdom from it, to live into the solution.
