Poetry from a Road Scholar - Paperback

by James Robert Murphy (Author), Mary Jo Melby (Foreword by)

There are many beautiful poems within these old woven-together words. Each speaking the weary truth. Reflecting back in time, this poetry points to a repeated history of human yearning. The wanting need to share my life with someone. The sincere beginnings, the attempts at reconciliation, and the anger that followed each failed attempt. But somewhere along my winding unpaved road, love was found. I simply had to keep searching and making changes within myself.
