BOOKS
Penned Poetry
Author Miller Caldwell, a direct descendant of Scottish Bard Robert Burns, reaches back to his writing roots, gathering a host of national and international award-winning poets for this delightful collection of reflections in verse on all aspects of life. An ideal bedside companion, dip into subjects as diverse as fate, fortune and the meaning of life. From the comic to the tragic, Penned Poetry charts a course through the full spectrum of human emotion. Burns would surely approve. Miller is a sufferer of early-stage Parkinson’s disease.
