​
Sheila Murphy’s As if to Tempt the Diatonic Marvel from the Ivory features prose poetry which floats by like clouds of sounds; strange, hypnotic and untethered to day-to day reality. The harmonic shifts and twists in the prose poems come from Murphy’s sublime use of language to create tension and slack. As if to Tempt the Diatonic Marvel from the Ivory is a fresh and compelling take on the prose poem from one of the masters of the form.
