Just in time for the end of history, The Last Normal Year features new, selected, and previously undetected compositions by celebrated Bellingham poet Kevin Murphy. With nods to the Beats, the bards, the surrealists, and the blues, Murphy's approach is exuberant, comic, and slightly mad. 

Kevin Murphy has been poetry performing his poetry of subversive whimsy for over 45 years, often accompanying himself on guitar or percussion. A winner of the Bellingham Mayor Arts Award, he is poet-in-residence at the Chuckanut Radio Hour, and has taught poetry through Whatcom Community College and the Whatcom Juvenile Justice Creative Writing Project. He has recorded two CDs of his work, Between Onions and Oxygen, and The Bird of Pure Midnight. His new poetry collection is The Last Normal Year (2025).
