from my poetry blog
from a restful source
to rushing rapids,
migrating salmon
-Osprey fodder,
snatched on silent
Atlantic missions,
slivers of light
transfiguring elements:
water to sky;
life to death
from my poetry blog
the loneliness of distraction
a question of language
the cravatted pirate hijacking the turntable
wait up to see the shooting stars
tearing holes in the firmament
of crystal glass
name a rose after that velvet queen
lost in the garden
painting portraits and hustling
the elite for a pound
speak the names of those gone before
unfinished manifestos staked
to scarlet trees
I have the honour of appearing on musician Laura Bruno Lilly’s site this week for the publication of my poetry collection In Brigantia.
You can read her review here:
http://laurabrunolilly.com/poetry-shoutout-in-brigantia-by-andrew-james-murray/
I’m very pleased to announce that my second poetry collection, In Brigantia, is out now.
‘Andrew James Murray’s second collection invites you to Brigantia, territory of Celtic tribe the Brigantes.
It is a Brigantia of both geography and imagination, where Queen Cartimandua rubs shoulders with screen goddess Marilyn Monroe, and Tom Cruise is proselytising upon the streets of Manchester.’
For readers in the UK it is available here:
For readers in the US you can get it here:
