Welcome to G. Murray Thomas
Interview About Creative Process
I was recently interviewed by musician Patrick Jaouen on his podcast, The Songwriter’s Couch. It was more focused on my history as a writer and my creative process than on any specific works of mine. A fun and interesting show.
Videos from My Tours
Here is a series of videos from my two recent poetry tours, all from Two Idiots Peddling Poetry as the Ugly Mug in Orange CA.

Caregiving Videos
I am starting a series of videos reading from and discussing my book, Living the Sundown. For the complete series, go here.
Here is the first of the official series, in which I describe the incident which convinced my siblings and I that our parents needed full time care.
Poetry Videos
Here are several videos of me performing my poetry.
Watching the Sunset with My Parents
The poem is exactly what the title says. The video was assembled out of my father's photography. I created this video to show at his memorial service.

A Friend Passes Away While I'm Birdwatching in Bolsa Chica
Another video I created for my father's memorial. Again, the photographs are all his work.
