"The word 'spiritual' is, in this volume, ripped away from the New Age and returned to its sources in Kabbalah and early Christian (gnostic) writings. But it carries with it the world as we have it now. A heap of horrors, remnants, a sense of the feminine under assault, and the drive to love." (Fanny Howe)

Comprising work from the early 1970s onwards, Reassembling Still is by far the largest and most comprehensive collection of David Miller's poetry, and includes all of his poetry that he wishes to keep, with the exceptions of the ongoing Spiritual Letters project and his visual poems.
