"Peter Murphy's superb Stubborn Child unflinchingly enacts and examines his own painful childhood, then moves to the often damaged and compromised lives of the high school students he teaches. Like the best delineators of unhappiness, he also brings humor to his task, the dark humor of a survivor. And indeed this is a survivor's book, both transforming and transformative in the end, Murphy the man able to love and affirm, Murphy the poet able to raise the unruly and the tawdry to the level of art." ~Stephen Dunn
