    About this ebook

    In recent years, poet David J. Murray formed an unusual connection with a friend, a widow as he is a widower. They began a collaboration in verse, creating collections of poetry together that form a unique and intriguing conversation.

    Interchange and Other Poems, Murray’s 13th poetry collection and the 3rd in this series, weaves together many different components of life using the thread of interchanging communication to enrich and maintain a mutually acceptable relationship. Language and content combine beautifully as Murray blends concrete detail with abstraction. His mellifluous marriage of the tangible and the universal shows that stable relationships beneath the human experience when well maintained. These verses moves smoothly from one aspect of life to another, from one poem to the next, carried along by the constant undercurrent of the relationship’s recurring repair and renewal.
