Little Joy - Paperback

"Like someone looking for a lost key, Matthew Murrey searches the world around him-an el platform in Chicago above a vacant lot, a hidden lake in the Northwoods of Minnesota, a blind man on a city street playing a black guitar for alms. What is it the poet seeks? A little joy? Yes, that must be it, for these poems leave us positively transported, transformed, transfixed by joy. This book is accomplished, lovely, and moving. What more might we ask of poetry?"

-Richard Jones, author of Passport
