Inside Stories by Rich Murphy

With Inside Stories, Rich Murphy has as an initial impetus plumbing the physical and emotional interior of Homo sapiens. Friedrich Schiller's play drive may best describe the style: "It is union of the unconscious and reflection that makes the poetic artist."

Meta-modernism may best describe its heart. He agrees with philosopher Alain Badiou, who states, "Poetry in some sense portrays ... what was impossible to say in the same language."

A peek into the anatomical language for its functions and intrigues will become evident in Murphy's poetics, as will the use of rudimentary scientific language for aspects of interiority.
