Hiking All Night

by Timothy Murphy

“At a relentless pace, Timothy Iver Murphy (1951-2018) produced an incredible amount of poetry in the last years of his life. Hiking All Night is an account of the simple pleasures of Murphy’s life; hunting, companionship of faithful dogs, farming and hiking. Throughout Hiking All Night, familiar inspirations appear, including homage to the masters of literature who have formed his craft and the religious beliefs that anchored his life. Most poignantly, Murphy includes relationships with friends and family, the physical and emotional struggles of this mortal world, and reflections upon regrets and restoration”.
