Wilmer Mills first book, "Light for the Orphans", is one of the first books in Story Line Press' new First Book Series. And it is a strong choice to start the series with. Mills is a sawmill operator in Tennessee, who is from Louisana, and grew up in a Presbyterian missionary in Brazil. The southern roots show in his work. The voice used in the poems is that of the south, the country. Almost every poem is a narrative poem or dramatic monologue. And almost every poem is a good one. This collection is full of interesting characters telling their stories. If you like narrative poetry, then there is no doubt you'll like this collection.
