what is and might be and then otherwise

David Miller has always been a multi-disciplinary artist, and this present collection features his painting alongside his poetry, prose poetry and story writing. He also works across genres at times, so that an individual piece might possibly be considered either a prose poem or a story or both, for example. His work can be meditative, questioning, lyrical... and, in some instances, humorous, fantastical or satirical.

Most of the material here was done after the death of his wife Dodo (the philosopher Doreen Maitre) in 2022, and some of it explicitly or implicitly involves mourning as well as reflection and contemplation in the wake of that loss.
