Murphy on Parnassus
My beloved Timothy Murphy today at that Brooke Clark's great site. Many thanks to him, for aiding and abetting me in reinforcing Tim's immortality:

Oh, that's a sad, tight, clever poem. Good to read. I don't know where to start with Tim Murphy's work, but this feels like a good start.

Oh my dear -- I shall send you some links when I return from my travels. One must not be minus the magnificent Mr. Murphy...

Thank you. I'll look forward to that. In the meantime, I'll see if I can find a chapbook that I can buy that doesn't entail expensive postage (although I am gradually recouping my poetry budget after a mad splurge back in July).

Sarah-Jane, you might want to check bookfinder dot com for a used copy. I did a quick check and you can get "Very Far North" for less than $9, delivered, and I bet there are other Tim Murphy titles there as well. When I've ordered used books online, it's often at insanely low prices (less than $5 delivered) and the condition is generally even better than they represent it to be.

Thank you both, that's really helpful.
Roger, that's a fantastic website. I'm going to recommend it at work, too.
I've got one - a hardback, from Blackwells, postage included, for £8.
Ann, thank you so much. Going to ebay is an excellent idea, and one that has never occurred to me (which is weird when I've bought clothes and rice cookers quite happily from there).
So, I shall be reading 'Very Far North' very soon. Exciting!
