Mean Time
$10.00
“Listen, I‘m full of contradictions,” the speaker in Peter Murphy’s new chapbook confides, but any reader of Murphy’s work already knows that his are poems full of strange truths, deep emotions, and abundant wonder. In Mean Time, the poet takes us on a journey from fantastic myths of self-invention that meld sly, sideways wit, insight and foreboding to urgent investigations and critiques of our current all-too-real reality. It is impossible to say which landscape, which assertion or image, leaves us more mystified and bereft. While time in Mean Time is taken through all of its permutations, what is revealed is both timely and timeless.
