Murray Thomas, Living the Sundown
“Manuals for caregivers exist, but Thomas is offering something much more: an honest account of the trials, tribulations, and treasures one receives when you upend your own life to care for the people who have always cared for you. … The mix of poetry and prose elevates this memoir and it becomes an unexpected artistic retreat when the reader needs it most.”— Raundi Kondo-Moore
In 2018, Southern California poet G. Murray Thomas moved back to upstate New York to care for his aging parents, both of whom suffered from dementia. Living the Sundown is based on Thomas’s blog posts from this time. Telling the story with compassion and humor, the book dives deep into the gritty details of a responsibility both challenging and rewarding.
For thirty years, G. Murray Thomas was an active participant in the Southern California poetry scene as a writer, performer, reading host, promoter, editor, and publisher. His previously published books include two poetry collections, Cows on the Freeway and My Kidney Just Arrived, as well as several chapbooks.
