The Longest Month and Other Poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781491787847)

Inside a Toronto apartment with a view of Lake Ontario and a hillside covered with trees, seasoned poet David Murray penned his tenth collection of lyrical verse-somehow meeting a lofty goal of writing one hundred poems in thirty days.

While waiting for a rendezvous at a train station with a recently widowed friend, Murray passed the time during the longest month of his life by fueling his creativity and writing mostly sonnets that cover a variety of subjects and emotions. Murray's poems not only explore feelings of anticipation, grief and hope but also the unpredictable beauty of nature as spring attempts to make an entrance, the questions that arise while gazing at old photographs and the unforeseen as distant lovers wait for an event.

The Longest Month and Other Poems share a seasoned poet's reflections as he contemplates the past, present and the possibilities of a new beginning.
