Please join us on Zoom for a lively conversation with Brenda Miller about her new hybrid collection, Love You, Bye: A Daughter’s Journey in Essays and Poems, moderated by Yetzirah Book Club host Rick Chess.
Robin Hemley, author of How to Change History: A Salvage Project, says about Love You, Bye, “Approach this book not as your typical collection of essays and poems, but as a jar of bright beads, cohesively combined yet individually shimmering as they catch the tender reflected light of their subjects: Miller’s aging parents foremost, as well as Miller’s own many stored selves from childhood to early old age. Long admired as an essayist of stunning invention and sensitivity, Miller had me nearly in tears from the outset and wouldn’t let me catch my shaky breath until the very last.”
