Review
"From roadside flowers to the World Trade Centre, from friendships lost to one-night stands, Murray in this remarkable collection of poems bares his emotional soul as few have done in public, even on television. He takes us on an extraordinary journey across the peaks and chasms of love, remorse, nostalgia, and preparation for death. I'm not usually one for poetry but frankly I was enthralled." - Michael Weigall, writer and prize-winning broadcaster
Product Description
'These poems will give endless pleasure to lovers of conventional poetry. Murray's insistence upon rhyme adds a remorseless strength to his evocative pictures of lovers and old friends, his nostalgic visits to childhood and his bleak vision of life as a preparation for death. His minimalist drawings subtly evoke the spirit of these unusual and moving poems.'
