Hilton Head Island: two poems by Richard Murphy and one by me

This morning I read several poems by the Irish poet Richard Murphy whom I mentioned yesterday.

Some of the facts about his life are difficult to discover.  He was born in 1927 and died in 2018.  He was married at least once.  Possibly twice but I am not certain.  He had two children.  ‘Grounds’ is about his first and perhaps only divorce.

Here is a poem I wrote about one of my divorces,



Galway Hookers are not my kind of boat, but I like the poem and believe some of you will too.
