| Summary | "Songs from the Smoke" by Madeleine S. Miller is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The book reflects the life and struggles of workers, particularly in the industrial environment of Pittsburgh, capturing the essence of labor, family, and the intertwined relationship of humanity with the natural world. Through various themes, Miller conveys a deep sense of appreciation for those who toil, as well as the beauty that can emerge from the smoke of industry. The collection is divided into three parts, each focusing on different aspects of human experience: songs for laborers, reflections for the evening, and seasonal themes. In "Songs for the Brothers Who Toil," Miller paints a vivid picture of the lives of workers and their families, celebrating their perseverance and resilience. The second part, "Songs for the Evening Hour," delves into introspective reflections, exploring emotions associated with life and loss. Finally, "Songs for the Seasons" brings a sense of renewal and hope as it traverses through nature's cyclical changes. Throughout the collection, Miller's poignant verses serve to elevate the mundane aspects of life, invoking both social consciousness and a touch of lyrical beauty.
