"I transformed the nature of my fiery tongue to spit knowledge and uplift my family and community rather than to become a statistic. I rose through poetry and I invite you to walk in my footsteps and view my journey through verse, words and imagery." Poetry Rising displays the written "trinity" of poet Gary N. Miller Jr. (The G-Mill): family, community and spiritualty. Come witness the fire and the poetic story of his soul.

"I am falling deep inside your valley of understanding." "I am bathing in the rays of your bright smile" "Dare I show you my love again? Open my heart to hurt once more? What will I do? How will I know for sure?" Poetry for the soul. Words, feelings and thoughts that we can all relate to are beautifully brought to life in this collection of poetry.
