The voices in Patricia Cleary Miller’s Warmer Than Yesterday: New and Selected Poems struggle with four of life’s greatest confusions: home, war, death, and love. With humor, pathos, and ambiguityafter all, today is warmer than yesterdaythey savor their experiences even if they never seem to find out all the answers as they search in Kansas City and all over the world. As Miller writes, “The characters in this collection are confused; they can’t get it right. Mothers and children, lovers, soldiers: guardedly optimistic, because today is warmer than yesterday, they struggle with the ambiguity of love, death, regret. But the book is not a downer: there are still yellow roses, mermaids, and a bit of tra-la-la in the forest.” This book highlights poems from her numerous books spanning over thirty years.
