In All the Ways, a Drowning by Ronald J. Murray

In All the Ways, a Drowning is an omnibus containing Cries to Kill the Corpse Flower, Lost Letters to a Lover’s Carcass, and the evocative conclusion to a powerful trilogy of loosely connected poetry collections, Through a Gauntlet, Phantom Haunted.  

This collection delves deep into the heart of self-discovery, tracing the intricate journey of healing from mental illness and trauma. With grinding honesty and lyrical darkness, the poems confront the ghosts of childhood pain, revealing how deeply buried wounds can manifest in behaviors that harm others.

Through each verse, the reader is invited to witness the transformative power of understanding and self-forgiveness, culminating in a poignant exploration of redemption and renewal.
