[1] Murr's poetry was influenced by her academic interests in geography and history, blending her literary and scholarly pursuits.
Her works frequently emphasized Lebanon's role as a cradle of human civilization and religious significance, attributing the invention of the alphabet and several biblical events to Lebanese origins, and also touched on themes of spiritual love.
She wrote in French, classical Arabic, and "Phoenician-Lebanese," maintaining consistent themes across languages while expressing her nationalistic sentiments.
[4] She was also the President of the Academy of Lebanese Thought and was a founding member of the ultranationalist political party the Guardians of the Cedars.
[6]May Murr has written more than 3,000 articles on several subjects (theology, philosophy, politics, literature, arts, history, geography, social problems...) with an emphasis on the problems of the family, womanhood and childhood, in most of the major Lebanese newspapers and magazines, in three languages: Lebanese Arabic, French and Standard Arabic.
