Mark Miller | ‘Late Harvest’, reviewed by Tony Beyer
Good to read Tony Beyer‘s review of Mark Miller‘s haiku and senryu collection ‘Late Harvest’, which appeared in online journal ‘kokako‘ (no 45, September 2026, pages 140-142).
On the human side, Miller’s environmental concern extends towards
victims of domestic violence, refugees and detained migrants, and
prison inmates. His world is that of nature but also of human heights
and depths. A rural noir atmosphere in places enables him to distil
the narrative of a whole lifetime into a single, telling image:
late winter rain
the radiance of rust
on the widow’s gate
