An eclectic collection of poems,
songs, and musical theater.
In a recent column, Ms. Amy Dickinson stated, "When you sing, you are
communicating poetry that was so beautiful that a composer decided to set
it to music."
American Literary Press Editor: "In this eclectic collection of poems,
songs, and musical theater, Murphy pens both humorous and sensitive
words that are filled with colorful descriptions, double entendres, and fitting
Southern drawls. The author combines a lyrical feel for cadence,
rhythm, and rhyme with a strong command of the English language to
deliver some poignant and witty explorations of the human psyche.
From macabre descriptions to heartfelt sentiments, Murphy bares an
emphatic soul. His forays into musical theater are noteworthy, but particularly
exceptional is "Luke and Sarah," which, in telling the story of two
feuding mountain clans, dichotomizes the prim and the salacious, the virtuous
and vulgar. It would be wonderful to see this work performed on
stage as it is a sort of backwoods "West Side Story." The words to "Member"
and "Truck Stop" are also lyrics that can be independently enjoyed for their
purely poetical properties."
