Still Searching for Oz: Words About Life . . . Words About Death . . . and Words That Seem Right When There'S Nothing Else Left

by John A. Murray

Overview

So...what is this book about? At its core, its a poetry and art book. But, in retrospect, its so much more. Growing up in the 80s I was influenced by two thingsart and music. Combine those two things with a personel reflection on the times and what was going on in the world (when I wrote each piece) and you will get a hint of what you will find within the pages of this book. The writing of this book brought me from a high school student, to a college student, to a Soldier in Desert Storm, to 9/11 to deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and everywhere in between. I hope that you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I learned a lot about myself during this entire process and happened to relive some good and bad times in my life. If nothing else comes of thisthats enough. Intriguing huh?
