Fortune Written on Wet Grass Misch Murphy

The colorful poems in Floridian Eileen Mish Murphy's debut collection "Fortune Written on Wet Grass" are strikingly original and completely her own. They explore interactions and relationships between humans, animals, plants, and the-mostly rainy-weather. Suitable for all audiences, the poems in "Fortune Written on Wet Grass" will make you smile and maybe even melt your heart, or at the very least, help you find out whether or not you have one. Eileen "Mish" Murphy lives near Tampa with her Chi-Spaniel Cookie. She teaches English and literature at Polk State College. Her poems have been published in numerous journals, including Tinderbox Journal, Rogue Agent, and Thirteen Myna Birds. She is a staff writer for Cultural Weekly. A prolific book reviewer and visual artist, she has also done the illustrations for the highly acclaimed children's book "Phoebe and Ito are dogs" written by John Yamrus. "Fortune Written on Wet Grass" is her first full length collection.
