Muro employs a tight economy of language in every line, allowing sensory imagery to dazzle evocatively on the page, with lines like \"the rupture of fragrance from \/ each swollen blossom that astonishes \/ and agitates the soul\" in his poem titled \"Becoming,\" and in \"Something More Than Winter (Weighs Upon Me)\" he offers a stunning visual, \"leaves of Klimt gold flutter like torches \/ set upon the crowns of beech.\" Other poems are introspective and self-reflective such as \"Midsummer\"...and in \"A Rural County in Connecticut\" he allows the reader to ponder how regional location affects deeply the poet's multi-faceted and rich lens on art, emotions, family, life, memories, music and nature.
