Proof: Poems

At 34, a man missed a red-light and every single thing about Murray Dunlap's life changed. Because of the wreck, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury; he spent three months in a coma, a year in a wheelchair, and more using a walker. He was a married writer about to start a new career as an English teacher, but their marriage could not survive the confusion and amnesia. When asked, he did not know he was married.Proof is an intimate journey from trauma to recovery and acceptance through love, faith, and understanding. His poetry is a first-hand account of the pain of loss--of love, belief, and a former life--the struggles of healing, and the uncertainty of starting over. It is a personal triumph celebrating the joys of finding love and spirituality again. With poignantly honest and genuine poetry, Murray Dunlap captures the beauty of strength and the transcendence of tragedy.
