Bøger af Nina Murray

In Minor Heresies Nina Murray celebrates the mystery of existence, of man's place in nature, and explores the intimacies of that relationship. She investigates too the harmonics of language, how sound builds meaning, and stands as witness to moments of illumination, when we too can "divine/the blessing of stillness/from the bark's cryptic lines." Her poetry challenges us to understand the subtleties that surround us, if we dare.--Ted Higgs, author of Archipelago and Plank by Plank

This autobiography tells the story of an indefatigable spirit who survived the Second World War, a doomed marriage, the murder of her father, rape, and the almost endless consternation of family problems. Dr. Murray's story offers a valuable lesson to immigrants in any country, at any age, and deals with the necessity of absorbing one's new surroundings while clinging to one's roots.
