“At a time of environmental crisis, Gold Friend speaks powerfully of the ties that bind our living world. Chris Murray illuminates the relationship between
dependence and freedom, and meditates on the creative necessity for close observation.
These oblique poems can suddenly dazzle with their play of substance and light, as they move from the hidden intricacy of root systems to the beetle’s reflective sheen. As well as bearing witness to the strange beauty of the natural world, these innovative poems testify to the remarkable intensity of human perception. They deserve our closest attention.”
Lucy Collins
“Murray’s poetics call for a bond between the eye and the imagination…the acute perceptiveness of Murray’s poetry, her empathetic and sensitive vision, isextended first to nature and then, very movingly, into a series of elegies.”
Sean Hewitt, The Irish Times
