​'Gray’s remarkable collection, Contested Terrain, reads like a journey—a private and personal one, but also communal and distinctly American. Through these tightly crafted poems taut with specific detail and vivid imagery, one is taken on a ride through the terrains of memory and history, across battlefields and down backroads, before ultimately returning with new insights on the American identity and the very idea of home.'
​
-Ryan Bayless, Associate Professor of English and Fine Arts, Texas A&M University-Central Texas

    But even in face of the rumor,
    you sometimes shudder,
    Seeing men as old as you,
    who survive the terror,
    Of knowledge.
