ABOUT THE BOOK

“The Murmur Asylum, finally published last year, is centered on a singular subject: sexual abuse experienced by a minor. It required me to harness my obsessive tendencies as a writer towards the creation of a focused work. So focused, in fact, that there are only ten poems in that collection, and six of them are sequences—mostly extended, splintered narratives of the personae I created to tell this dark and twisted story.”—Ned Parfan
