All Reviews - Two Lips Went Shopping
Write a review.

Spirited, cheeky and angst-free … the poetry is unrhymed drawing pleasure from the rhythm and feel of language. Fishwife … is a sensuous marriage of salt and skin. Betrayal and Soup Bones sharply evoke the anxious and vulnerable child. …her best poems remodel the everyday to recast the familiar and frustrating with witty flair.

Mike Shuttleworth, The Sunday Age

In Two Lips Went Shopping Murphy reminds us of the essentially democratic nature of poetry. These are poems for the people, and in an ideal world they would be posted at every check-out counter in every supermarket.

Christopher Bantick, Canberra Sunday Times

'The poems are intense visual and olfactory experiences, and they also contain exquisite vignettes of life and its struggles.' 

Sunday Canberra Times

'This collection of poems is amusing, amazing and entertaining ... A fun read that can be picked up at any time, anywhere you need a rest from the day's harrowing experiences.'
