Description
"What I love about this bold, incantatory voice is that the rhythm, emphasis and statement acts, ultimately, as a portal onto the wild surrender of genuine seeking. Murray's fierce courage and earnest vulnerability are essential tools and consolations in this wild century."
Tracy K. Smith
"A new collection from Stephen Murray is a true gift, and what a gift this is: a humbled and awe-struck exploration of the joys of new life set against the devastation of familial loss. By turns sad and raucously funny, these are poems that plunge headlong into life's thicket without a backward glance. Read them, and find yourself changed."
Jessica Traynor
"A writer of extraordinary power."
