Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Without seeming to at first glance, Jim Murphy's Versions of May succeeds in speaking to the anxieties that move beneath the surface waters of our times. It is a collection of tremendous depth and breadth, piercing insight and tenderness. Global, and yet attentive to particulars of nature and human spirit, these poems artfully blend elements of elegy, Zen, jazz, and popular music. In line after line that resonate with echoes of terror and loss, but simultaneously with stunning celebrations of beauty, they sweep us off center, in the traditions of Zen or jazz masters, leaving us almost breathless, startled by the silence and light. "No truths / but this bright and noble moment," Murphy writes, and elsewhere, "We vanished. We left in total silence." These are poems to be savored, ones that will stay with us long after our reading. -Anand Prahlad, Curators Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri-Columbia Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

What comes after we are gone charts the pulse of this collection. When the poet communes with his troubled heroes - Lou Reed, Miles Davis, Jim Morrison, and many more - we have fleeting moments of understanding that are easy and pure, just like 'pouring light into a suitcase.' And in the spirit of passing it on, passing it down, passing it forward, we are given hope that the greats that came before us can hear us and that when we die, we'll all 'become the chords.' With both vastness and precision, Jim Murphy peers between the notes for the universal mysteries that happen when you are looking the other way.…
