Road
of Sighs, Poems 1985-2000
By James
Murphy
"Let
a journey of the mind begin." These are the first words of
the opening chapter of James Murphy's Roads of Signs, Poems 1985-2001.
This artist's powerful words set the pace for readers to embark
upon a expedition into the shadowy underground world of drugs, sex,
violence, and outlaw gangs. They lend an ear to the tragedies America
is currently facing. They cry out for the readers to understand
the injustice that is taking place in our society before our very
eyes.
James
Murphy has painted a candid picture by masterfully crafting a book
that is filled with intense moving substance. I feel his deep thought
provoking words are so hauntingly entwined they capture the true
essence of what a poet strives to accomplish. Very highly recommended.
