The thrust of the book is a series of achingly poignant poems about the poet's early life in California. Gifted with a prodigious memory for detail\u003cbr\u003e and an expansive heart, Murphy probes a litany of seminal life events including rebelliousness, drug and alcohol abuse, friendship, intellectual inquisitiveness, creativity, suicide, loss, and human sensuality, and he\u003cbr\u003e does so with extraordinary emotional honesty and courage. The stinging \"bite\" of these poems will remain with the reader long after the poems are read.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e-Larry D.
