Teaching the Soul to Speak

“Poetry at its best is the language your soul would speak if you could teach your soul to speak.” — Jim Harrison

Murray Bodo gathers seventy-three finely tuned word-songs of body and soul. Across five sections he explores the complexities of a life, from a boy wishing to please his father on a hunting trip to the deterioration of our planet.

“Bodo’s poems are precise, inventive, at times pensive, and necessary.” — Christopher P. Collins
