A Song By Darryn John Murphy
My name is Darryn John Murphy I was born in 1970
I first started writing in 1979 with my mother and was published in Australian women’s weekly that year. The story was titled You To Can Be A Helper. In 1980 we won an A.R.P.A AWARD from the Australian Religious Press Association for the Item or Feature That Showed the most originality.
I have been writing poetry for the last five years and in that time I have had my work published by both the International Library of poetry (www.poetry.com) and Noble House Publishers, London Paris, and New York.
