James McMurtry at The Narrows

Posted

James McMurtry spins stories with a poet’s pen and a painter’s precision. In his first collection in six years, McMurtry is revealed as a craftsman in absolute peak form as he turns from political toward personal. “The lyrical theme is mostly about relationships,” McMurtry says. “It’s also a little about the big old world versus the poor little farmer or fisherman. I never make a conscious decision about what to write about.”
