A collection of poems by Michael Miller, "In His Heart, In His Mind," is a poetic narrative exploring the complex inner world of a Vietnam veteran named Brian. The meditative piece navigates his memories of combat, including the violence and loss he witnessed, juxtaposed with the gentler moments of his personal life, particularly his enduring love for his deceased wife, Sara, and his relationship with his son. Brian's reflections touch upon themes of trauma, resilience, the search for meaning, and the pervasive influence of his past on his present experiences, revealing a man grappling with both the scars of war and the solace found in nature, family, and art.
