Reviews
After Attila
'plenty to give you uneasy visions of a blockbuster movie,' Ambit
Elsewhere
'stunning ingenuity and delicacy, capable of engineering luminous images that evoke the here and now,' Poetry Review
'urbane, formally adroit and at its best possessed by deep feeling', Other Poetry
The New Irish Poets
'lyrical and understated, Murphy's re-tracing of his Irish parentage is unusual in that it does not travel back to some secure and solid centre, but exposes how migratory the history of Europe has always been for its minorities,' Selina Guinness, editor The New Irish Poets
