Open Burning

Reality and dreams mesh in Christopher McCurry's first full-length collection of poetry detailing the fallout of a young couple's divorce. At times elliptical and surreal, the emotional and psychological landscape of these poems is punctuated by flashes of the real risks and rewards of navigating difficult times with grace and compassion. Through the magic of these well-crafted poems, we become invested in the seemingly inconsequential as well as the life-changing.
