Tim Murphy: Burial at Sea & Other Poems
I'm delighted to present a podcast of new and not so new poems from our Poet Lariat, Tim Murphy. Tim tells me that over the last 30 years, he's written over 50 pages of poems in which Alan figures, with most of these in the last three years. This new podcast is comprised of three multi-part elegies.
The poems and the order of presentation are as follows:
- "Alan's Ashes"
(Forthcoming in The Hudson Review)
- "Epinikion Ode"
- "Burial at Sea"
(Part V. "Summiteer" was previously published in The Dark Horse)

How good to hear you, Tim! I've never heard your voice before. It's Minnesota!
And the work is wonderful.

Thanks, Cally. Check out the archive, Beaton, Corbett, Chandler, Hayes, the Sullivan Psalm Project. It's now thirteen months since Alex inaugurated this new board, and we'd love to see more recordings from anyone who has access to a good microphone. I don't read as well as I did once, but I did pretty well for an old guy on the day I cut this tape. Alex, thank you for posting it.

I finally listened to these today & I was so impressed. You are a wonderful reader (and I'm one who easily loses track of a reading even with the reader before my face). The poems are beautiful indeed.

Tim,
Thank you for recording this podcast for us. The poems are moving and powerful. How on earth were you able to record them "my voice not breaking"? Perhaps because one can control the voice, but not the heart.
"Burial at Sea" is a tour de force, with the final poem's reference to "limerence" ringing so true, at least to me, another of its "fortunate victims".

Thank you, Cathy. Thank you Gail. I bought a Pro Tools mic and the attendant software, which is so complex, I need my 20 year old audio engineer to run it! That's ok, the boy needs work.

Jack Stenerson and I are just completing a Selected Poems on tape. It's hours of tape, maybe ten, if one includes the three hour Beowulf. How I would kill to have ten hours of Yeats or Tennyson!
I urge more of you to record your work professionally and have Alex post it here.
Martin, thank you for your kind comment.
