Publisher's Synopsis
William Murphy's 16 Poems is the distillation of a lifetime's worth of work and inspiration. Published on his 70th birthday, 16 Poems is his answer to the call, first heard early in his life, to explore the written word, and proof that art is timeless.
The best poems grow with you; every time you read them you learn something new about the writer -- and about yourself. In these poems you will find stories of spiritual struggle, the questions that set us apart and make us human, wonderment at how we're here at all -- and why.
May you find within these pages the constantly changing inspiration I have found, and the inspiration to explore the written word yourself as well. May you find stories that resonate with you across time and place, and comfort in the fact that a mustard seed of faith is enormous -- and enough.
-- From the Foreword by Katherine Murphy Sanchez
