Sobre IBD

Peter Murphy is one of Australia’s most respected poets. His new collection is a generous and ambitious project. Reflective and joyful in equal measure, profound and playful, Finishing Stroke is rare in offering a deceptively playful immediacy which reveals more and more of its intellectual antecedents on reflection and re-reading. His work is a linguistic and visual joy.
