Remain

In Remain, Murphy writes that art hones ?suffering into a kind of beauty, luminous and full of heat.' A poet who developed in the downtown New York performance scene, Murphy's poems are packed with more depth than what we associate with ?spoken word? poetry: they interrogate rather than reflect pop culture and they are sublime examinations of emotion. Remain explores how the sweltering San Joaquin Valley and the breakup of Murphy's family shaped her, thoughMurphy also considers larger events: the shooting of Amadou Dialo, the HIV epidemic, and the war on Iraq.Murphy, Jennifer is the author of 'Remain' with ISBN 9781930083066 and ISBN 1930083068.
