Her confused characters take themselves seriously as they yearn for love. With wit and gently biting satire, the poet presents their struggles. Beware: a snicker at these characters is a snicker at yourself. Poet Mia Leonin writes, \"Miller's rapturous attention to detail and her deft sense of story conjure a poetic genealogy, swirling and swooning with ancestors, lovers, and earthly delights.\" Poet H. L. Hix writes in his foreword, \"This is a lyric memoir lush with vivid and vivifying particulars the objects of a lifetime.\" Whether the scene is a French-speaking convent school in Kansas City or an Irish-American woman's further coming of age as a Radcliffe student, wife, mother, poet, or world traveler, Miller's true journey is an interior one marked by a radiant wit and a sensuous appreciation for life itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Cleary Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943491216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943491216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BkMk Press of the University of Missouri-Kans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Patricia Cleary Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437167096063,"sku":"9781943491216","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_276621cc-277d-4ddb-bda7-852d8de323e3.jpg?v=1777160323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/can-you-smell-the-rain-patricia-cleary-miller-9781943491216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
