Bøger af Murray Dunlap

At 34, a man missed a red-light and every single thing about Murray Dunlap's life changed. Because of the wreck, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury; he spent three months in a coma, a year in a wheelchair, and more using a walker. He was a married writer about to start a new career as an English teacher, but their marriage could not survive the confusion and amnesia. When asked, he did not know he was married.Proof is an intimate journey from trauma to recovery and acceptance through love, faith, and understanding. His poetry is a first-hand account of the pain of loss--of love, belief, and a former life--the struggles of healing, and the uncertainty of starting over. It is a personal triumph celebrating the joys of finding love and spirituality again. With poignantly honest and genuine poetry, Murray Dunlap captures the beauty of strength and the transcendence of tragedy.

"Bastard Blue is a first book but there's more than promise on display within its pages. This collection introduces us to a fully realized talent. Murray Dunlap's voice is confident, his characters richly drawn, his sense of place as vivid as you will find in fiction. Sentence for sentence his prose is crisp and direct, edged somehow with both menace and hope. He has a knack for creeping up to sentiment in his stories without crossing the line, leaving only genuine, well-earned emotion on the page. This book is so fine somebody should offer a money back guarantee." - Michael Knight, author of The Typist
