But he has also proved a controversial figure, whose poetry strays across the boundaries of political and cultural debate.

Provides detailed readings of key poems, as well as literary and cultural contexts for the rapid shifts in style and subject matter Murray has made from collection to collection. Gives an overview of Murray's place within Australian literature and national thought.
