Kevin Murphy- The Last Normal Year

Welcome back long-time friend and poet-in-residence at the Chuckanut Radio Hour Kevin Murphy to the Readings Gallery for his new collection of poetry, The Last Normal Year!

Just in time for the end of history, The Last Normal Year features new, selected, and previously undetected compositions by celebrated Bellingham poet Kevin Murphy. With nods to the Beats, the bards, the surrealists, and the blues, Murphy's approach is exuberant, comic, and slightly mad.

Kevin Murphy has been writing poetry for over 45 years, often accompanying himself on guitar or percussion. He is poet-in-residence at the Chuckanut Radio Hour, and is a winner of the Bellingham Mayor Arts Award. He has recorded two CDs of his work, Between Onions and Oxygen, and the Bird of Pure Midnight. His new poetry collection is The Last Normal Year (2025).
