Since then, the Murdoch industry has churned. We\u2019ve had three memoirs about her from her husband, John Bayley (one was published shortly before her death), as well as Peter Conradi\u2019s cleareyed and context-rich biography, \u201cIris Murdoch: A Life,\u201d published in 2001.We\u2019ve also had a trickle of posthumous work. Some of this has been nonessential: for example, the diaries Murdoch kept as a young woman, published as \u201cA Writer at War\u201d (2010). Some has been sumptuous. Murdoch\u2019s letters, published as \u201cLiving on Paper\u201d (2016), are among the most ardent and vivid literary letters of the previous century. Her intellect and emotions trailed her like thunderheads.Poems from an Attic Save to your reading list:Want to readHave readNow comes a collection of her poetry, almost none of which was published during her lifetime. She feared her poetry was mediocre. It isn\u2019t. In its style and subject matter, it\u2019s very much in keeping with the most crucial of her novels, which include \u201cUnder the Net\u201d (1954) and \u201cThe Sea, The Sea\u201d (1978). A primary theme is obsessive love. Her rhetoric is emotionally charged and shorn, like the blunt chop of the uneven bangs she wore, of clever words and shallow feelings.The book is called \u201cPoems From an Attic: Selected Poems, 1936-1995.\u201d The word \u201cattic,\u201d in the title, is not a metaphor. Two of this book\u2019s editors were invited up into the attic of Murdoch and Bayley\u2019s last house, on Charlbury Road in Oxford, in 2016. If you know anything about this couple, you know they were indifferent housekeepers. An entire veal-and-ham pie once went missing from their kitchen counter and rats were the prime suspect.So perhaps we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that the attic, as described in this book\u2019s afterword, sounds like something out of Shirley Jackson or Edgar Allan Poe:We found a small space patchily lit by a few exposed lightbulbs, which lent an eerie quality to bulging cardboard boxes, battered suitcases and stacks of books, tilting alarmingly from the floor or spilling precariously from rickety wooden bookshelves groaning with the weight of multiple copies of Murdoch\u2019s novels. Two decades of dust had settled on gnawed plastic carrier bags out of which peeped the paws and heads of beloved soft toys.It\u2019s the bit about \u201cpaws and heads\u201d that drives the apprehension home.Murdoch\u2019s complicated sexuality \u2014 she had all-consuming affairs with both men and women, including the writers Elias Canetti and Brigid Brophy, before settling down with the rumpled and genial Bayley \u2014 is front and center from the beginning. A poem written while she was in her teens begins:She doesn\u2019t know I love her \u2014 for I hideMy love under a casual friendship.She cannot feel it burning in my handsWhen I touch her cool white hands.She cannot see it blazing in my eyesWhen I look into her calm grey eyes. These early poems display her precocity \u2014 her deep reading, casual erudition, the confident flow of her sentences. One is titled \u201cTo a Girl With Yellow Hair\u201d and begins: \u201cHow is it that we understood each other \/ At once, and recognized each other \/ Without the usual preliminaries?\u201dThese poems grow in force and in metrical complexity. One of the central poems in this collection, written in 1955, is titled \u201cMusical Evening for Three.\u201d It describes a trio of friends, with an intertwining sexual history, at a concert. The music extracts painful memories and pushes the poet to something close to a breakdown:I had not thought such pain were possibleAgain, not that particular pain.It is the echo that is terrible \u2014To find one\u2019s spirit can be bent againInto that old and agonizing spiral,To taste upon the lips the very shame,Tasted again like wine brought from its restTo shake the memory of an aged guest.It was the music that destroyed my peace \u2014And then that you, and you, were present too.I could have borne it in another place,Or, without that assault, encountered you. The editors note that this poem describes a concert Murdoch attended with her friends Philippa and Michael Foote, and refers to a \u201c\u2018quadrilateral tale\u2019 of partner-swapping that had occurred over a decade earlier.\u201d It\u2019s not essential to have this background \u2014 the poem works without it. But this book\u2019s afterword should have been a foreword.A little knowledge of Murdoch\u2019s life helps. I enjoyed a poem titled \u201cOxford to Paddington,\u201d written on a train and dedicated to Bayley, in part because she finds herself \u201cwondering if you are now \/ In the Bodleian working hard perhaps.\u201d This poem improves if you know that the couple liked to kiss and embrace in library stacks, where they could find a bit of privacy.The best thing about being God, Murdoch once wrote, would be making the heads. She liked to describe her handsome lovers, and even her less handsome ones.Not all of these poems are so nakedly autobiographical. There is verse about nature, about artworks, about buildings. An urbane poem titled \u201cSt. James\u2019s Park\u201d reads a bit like the everyday sketches of Frank O\u2019Hara: \u201cThe people are constantly coming over the bridge \/ And the lips of the women are red.\u201dA second key poem is \u201cMotorist and Dead Bird,\u201d written from a male perspective, in loosely iambic meter, that peels away layer upon layer of surprises. It begins simply enough: \u201cHe felt or thought he felt a crack, \/ Saw in his mirror the bird-blotted road, \/ Cursed the compulsion of going back \/ To find it glossy, without blood, quite dead.\u201d The poem takes a turn in the middle, when he considers how his wife would have reacted, only to note that she is remarried with children while he, in apparently grimier circumstances, is headed toward an \u201cobscure hotel \/ Where he is waited for.\u201d The poem is a series of emotional shocks.It underscores something Murdoch said in an interview, that \u201cpoets can express much more than novelists, this connected sense of something which is simple and lucid and true and non-bogus and at the same time oddly accidental.\u201d \u201cPoems From an Attic\u201d does not greatly extend our understanding of Murdoch. But these are formal workings out of impulses, appetites and intense feelings. The best are strong enough that it\u2019s as if she carved them, with a knife, onto a library desk.POEMS FROM AN ATTIC: Selected Poems, 1936-1995 | By Iris Murdoch | Chatto & Windus | 167 pp. | $28.99Dwight Garner has been a book critic for The Times since 2008, and before that was an editor at the Book Review for a decade.Read 26 commentsShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
