George Murray

• "Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it's no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it's really just about the money, the perceived prestige.“
• "Humour is a fine line to walk in poetry, as in fiction. I just think it's harder to write. It's harder to keep the respect of the reader too.“
• "I've often entertained paranoid suspicions about my fridge and what it's been doing to my poetry when I'm not looking, but I never even considered that my fan was thinking about me.“
• "The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming.“
• "Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction.“
• "Humour is a fine line to walk in poetry, as in fiction. I just think it's harder to write. It's harder to keep the respect of the reader too.“
• "Well, we all start thinking we're going to be Romantic rock stars, but then reality hits and you realize no one reads you but other poets.“
