Join us at Henry’s Books in Spearfish on Saturday March 15 at 12:00 PM for a book signing with local poet Madison Miller as she shares her most recent collection with us.

About the Book: 

This poetry collection is about having a parent who doesn't deserve to know you. Each chapter is a theme and each poem is connected to a memory. The hurt and the pain you feel from being forgotten about by someone who was supposed to help raise you, combined with the appreciation for the people who did raise you, the people who did everything they could so that you could succeed and feel loved. It's emotional turmoil at its finest. You will feel every poem. This book, this collection, is for the forgotten children and the grown adults who need to heal. It's for everybody who has craved love from someone who was supposed to love you and chose not to, and most of all, this book is for the people who feel like they aren't enough because of someone else's actions. You are enough as you are, just because people choose not to look at a butterfly, doesn't mean it isn't flying.

Author Bio:

  Madison Miller is a 21-year-old author who has been writing and creating art for as long as she can remember. 'He Doesn't Deserve To Know Me' is a self-published poetry collection about what it was like to grow up in a single-parent household and the emotions and internal conflicts that go along with it. She wrote this book and designed the cover while working full-time and attending Dakota State University as a full-time student studying English for New Media. She graduated High School in Newell SD in 2021 at 17 years old and  has said on record that  "Everything I write, is pure raw and real emotion. It all has layers, layers that can be felt and dissected. I feel it when I write, and my readers feel it when they pick up my work. It's powerful in the way that only words can be." -MM
