Dear all,

Richard Murphy is an Irish poet who has several books of poetry to his name, most notably Sailing to an Island (1963), The Battle of Aughrim (1968) and The Price of Stone (1985). His memoirs, titled The Kick: A Life Among Writers, was published in 2002 by Granta. He's under the critical radar in comparison to many of his peers and is certainly deserving of more exposure in this area. I've included the Irish poetry template (which is amazing, by the way!) on his page but he's unfortunately not on it. The most appropriate placing for him on that diagram would be on the 4th line down in the "20th Century" section somewhere between John Montague and Seamus Heaney. Is there a way to include him in this diagram? I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are on this.

Yours,

Oscaaaaaaa
