Door That Always Opens

<p>Julie Funderburk’s debut poetry collection The Door That Always Opens braids together poems of sharp lyrical imagery and experimental narrative focused frequently on houses: houses under construction or demolition inhabited abandoned and vandalized. Sparkling with details of landscapes and seascapes her poems depict a state of isometric tension as people struggle to communicate and connect pulled by feeling and pushed by logic trapped between choices and mixed loyalties.</p><p> </p><p>Despite what is unknown or misunderstood however the poems in The Door That Always Opens retain hope as life persists in the beauty of the visible world.</p>
