Cancer Angel
Poetry. Women's Studies. "Beth Murray asks, 'Who are you without breathing in the habitual direction?' And her fierce and forthright inquiry proceeds to create a new current, a new kind of lyric understanding that disrupts the stasis of received language—and of life itself. Moving through the most difficult experiences, Murray evolves a fluidity of trust and curiosity while ever true to her adopted imperative to "make trouble." The loss of this poet to our community would seem a site without consolation, but for this: Murray's troubling of assumption, the risks she takes, are a mode of faith and healing. Here, she sings the 'songs to which I do not yet know the words.'"—Elizabeth Robinson
