Insequor

by Richard Murphy

Daniel Loman has had a very peculiar day. By the end of it, he’s being pursued by an extra-terrestrial robot, whisked away to Cuba by the military and in cahoots with the CIA.

He's also managed to arrange a date.

But after the government and its armies fail him, he is forced to adopt a nomadic existence of constant travel, as he strives for a semblance of what he feels is a normal life.

About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.

Richard Murphy was one of Ireland’s most distinguished poets. He is particularly known for poems that draw on the landscape and history of the west of Ireland. His Collected Poems (Gallery Press) was published in 2000, his acclaimed autobiography The Kick (Granta Books) in 2003. His awards include the Cheltenham Award and the American-Irish Foundation Award.

‘Richard Murphy’s verse is classical in a way that demonstrates what the classical strengths really are. It combines a high music with simplicity, force and directness in dealing with the world of action. He has the gift of epic objectivity: behind his poems we feel not the assertion of his personality, but the actuality of events, the facts and sufferings of history’ (Ted Hughes).
