You may know him as the Urbana High School Librarian, but tonight, the only book Matthew Murrey will be pointing you towards is Bulletproof, his debut book of poetry.
Published by Jacar Press, Bulletproof explores the “joy and dread of being alive in this world.”
Murrey is the recipient of an NEA Fellowship in Poetry, and has previously published work in Rattle and One.
