Lines from a Canvas offers the public one of the best kept secrets in the world of poetry for years, the work of Jacob Miller.His poems uniquely traverse the cultural territory from Homer to the Grateful Dead, taking the reader from ancient Greece and Rome to the Holocaust to the Cold War to Vietnam to 9/11. In short, the expansive canvas of his content presents a compelling spectrum mixing classical and modern brush strokes, all while exploring experiences of love and loss, isolation and separation, as well as mortality. Consistent with his content, though perhaps of even greater importance, the crowning achievement shown in this collection is Jacob Millers new poetic technique, which delivers the reader to an expertly constructed and longneeded bridge between classical traditions (such as rhyme and meter, or even hidden slant rhymes or assonance connections), and imagistic freeverse.The title poem, Lines from a Canvas, offers the point of view of a canvas, not the painter, and this launches the operative conceit in this collection each poem explores the perspective of the canvas of life and death, more than the poet himself. Each poem truly brings something new to the page.
