With Inside Stories Rich Murphy has as an initial impetus plumbing the physical and emotional interior of Homo sapiens. Friedrich Schiller's play drive may best describe the style: It is union of the unconscious and reflection that makes the poetic artist. Meta-modernism may best describe its heart. He agrees with philosopher Alain Badiou who states Poetry in some sense portrays . . . what was impossible to say in the same language. A peek into the anatomical language for its functions and intrigues will become evident in Murphy's poetics as will the use of rudimentary scientific language for aspects of interiority.
