The Last Normal Year: Poems by Kevin Murphy

By Kevin Murphy

Just in time for the end of history, The Last Normal Year features new, selected, and previously undetected pieces by celebrated Bellingham poet Kevin Murphy. With nods to the beats, the bards, the surrealists, and the blues, Murphy's approach is exuberant, comic, and slightly mad. Chocolate, carrots, global economies, scuba divers, and the dangerous whirling stars of the desert sky appear in cameo roles. Intimations of irrational forces and traces of blue-speckled fish may be present. This book aspires to provide many of the same benefits as around-the-world travel at a fraction of the cost.
