		The vocabulary Murray invents (or identifies) is one of images, not words-a pessimistic gesture, coming from a poet-but he pulls it off as a lark, with a dash of wit.
		Murray begins with a mischievous tribute to the "new hieroglyphics," the international symbols of airports and restaurants, pictographs of the forbidden and the required.
		Murray relishes the Australian vernacular and displays a fondness for shade and shadows, a delight in lightning, a love for trees, and a mix of admiration for and fear of sheer rocky cliffs and the boiling sea.

	Les Murray - Poetry Archive
		The influences and oppositions discernible in Murray's work - love of the land, the tensions between rural and urban life, the struggle for an independent means of expression - are forces that have also shaped modern Australian culture and perhaps help explain both his widespread appeal and the controversy he sometimes attracts.
		Murray's often spacious poems are a celebration of creation - his collections subsequent to his conversion to Roman Catholicism have been dedicated simply "to the glory of God" - but they are also catholic with a small "c" embracing high culture and fireside yarn, strict form and free verse with equal facility and enthusiasm.
		Murray is a well-known reader of his own work, his dry charm and understated style giving voice to the independent spirit of his poems.

	Jacket 1 - John Redmond reviews "Subhuman Redneck Poems", by Les Murray
		Murray seems to think ‘a poem should be mean, not be.’ Behind the poem, a long way in the distance, is a debate one might usefully pursue (what is the meaning of Auschwitz, or any other atrocity, in a Godless universe?) but Murray’s shock tactics obliterate any hope of pursuing it.
		Murray now seems to conceive of poetry as a mildly transparent code, a way of recasting something ordinary (‘it’s raining out’) in a peculiar way (‘now is wetfall’).
		Murray affects the satirical manner of a public poet at times when this book is really a longing for withdrawal — a backing into the Outback.

		Murray often writes about the unique Australian landscape, man's destruction of the planet, and the working-class people of his native country.
		Though the work avoids treating his experience of catastrophic illness directly, the poems reflect the heightened consciousness of a man who has nearly died and is newly alive to the world.

	The Alsop Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Conscious and Verbal is Les Murray's thirteenth book of poetry, and, unlike the work of "Messrs Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, and a score of others," it is resolutely unbohemian.
		Murray's vocabulary is wide and peppered with Australian usage; he uses rare, learned words--"oppidum" for "town," for example--and familiar words often appear in unfamiliar contexts:
		Murray refers to himself as "the last of the Jindyworobaks"--a movement begun in the 1930s whose members attempted to free themselves from all non-Australian influences.

		In one early poem, "József," Murray writes: "I don't think Nature speaks English." Learning Human suggests that it does indeed, and with an astonishing and very Australian fluency.
		Murray's 35 years of work have made him certainly Australia's most famous poet and one of its best; only in the past 10 years, however, has he found an American audience.
		At night on a dairy farm, Murray views "the strainers sleeping in their fractions,/ vats/ and the mixing plunger, that dwarf ski-stock, hung." Murray's aims are always (if sometimes obliquely) political and religious.

	Les Murray's Octave - smh.com.au
		While he admits this non-verbal sound world is something of a mystery to him, it has not stopped him from taking part in an intriguing project, which teams the Song Company vocal ensemble with contemporary composers from Italy, Denmark, the US and Australia.
		The direct is a series of new settings of Murray's poetry, variously commissioned by the Song Company, the Danish Ministry of Culture and the Guggenheim Foundation.
		His setting of Bats' Ultrasound is a perfect vehicle for the Song Company: it is a patchwork of extended vocal techniques, brilliantly produced and held together with confidence by the fundamental drones and pedals.
