I met Father Murray years ago in Cincinnati thanks to the poet Denise Levertov. We took a poetry workshop together and then started a small poetry group that met monthly to share a new poem and enjoy ice-cream. I think we all helped one another become better poets.

A prolific writer of poetry and prose, Murray taught at Thomas More College. He produced audio books, CD’s, DVD’s and also led retreats in Umbria, Italy for over thirty years. His newest book is Nourishing Love: A Franciscan Celebration of Mary, and you can find out more about it on his website.

Murray also did an interview for our Creativity Salon, and you can read that here.
