Opened Ground

Heather Murray

I was so happy with this collection of poems. This was my first time reading his work and I found it to be the perfect way to jump into his writing. The poetry is different from the poetry I’m used to, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book spans many years and includes some of his best poems. 

I’m happy to say I would read this again, and I can’t wait to read more of his selected work. Excellent storytelling and imagery! I’ll be looking for more poetry by him soon. Adding to my recommendations!
