Sounds of the seasons abound in Millbrook. Yes, it is not summer. And Ryan Murphy tells you about how you’ve been through all this before: the staying the going the staying. He tells you that the wind will fix it all. Like some Usher—even more fucked-up than Usher—the poet collapses in his house’s walls. But there the flowers always hold hope and fear in their own seasons.
Ryan Murphy is the author of Millbrook, The Redcoats, and Down with the Ship. He has received grants and awards from the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Chelsea Magazine, The Fund For Poetry, and The New York State Foundation for the Arts.
