Keith Murray believes that poetry should reflect historical events —
big and small. He was born in 1960 and as far as he knows is still alive. He has
published many chapbooks, including The Camel's Back (Koo Press), and his
poems have appeared in The Herald, Leopard, and Pushing Out the Boat,
among others. He runs a small poetry press, Malfranteaux Concepts.
