EOIN MURRAY was a poet and a native of Carrigtwohill. He passed away from underlying heart conditions in August 2015 at the age of 23. Just a few days before he passed, Eoin told his parents that his greatest wish was for people to read and derive meaning from his poetry, and that he wanted to publish a book by the time he was 30. This book is his family's attempt to honour those wishes and to share Eoin’s unique voice and insights.

This book tells the story of Eoin's development as a writer and a person. From his initial exploratory voice as a teenager, marked by a kind of wounded innocence, to one that charts his struggles and joys, his delight and curiosity in the everyday interactions of people and places. The writing of Eoin's final year sings with bold, insistent notes, and signals the emergence of a distinctive new voice. This book allows Eoin's work to reach and touch people, as he wished, and to share in the bright spirit and humanity so abundant in these pages.
