Gypsy Heart: A Poetry Collection

By: Ronald L Murphy Jr.

Gypsy Heart - A Poetry Collection by Ronald L. Murphy Jr.Ronald L. Murphy, Jr. is a writer who expands the scope of the poetic voice in this collection that flows through over two decades of his life. It is a work that crashes on the reader like waves in the ocean, full of joy and lament, rage and lust, death and rebirth, faith and penance. It is a travelogue of his life, questioning what is important and delving into the author's very meaning of existence. This book is as much about the promise of the future as it is concerned with exorcising the past. The author wrestles with the terrible specter of alcoholism that tormented his family, lingers in humility regarding his own shortcomings, and cherishes what is means to be a father. Step inside his world and take a look around. It is immediately recognizable as well as completely disorienting. But the very soul of this book keeps its rhythm with the poetry that beats within Murphy's Gypsy Heart.
