LATE DAYS – poem by George Murray
George Murray wrote the poem LATE DAYS around the same time as EXEUNT, typing the final version in June of 2005. He whimsically noted, parenthetically, that it was “Finally” finalized at that time, with a note at the top right of the page (see image below)… From its title, you will correctly surmise, that the…

EXEUNT – poem by George Murray
George Murray wrote his own eulogy, a poem titled “EXEUNT”. I don’t think he intended it to be his own eulogy, or even part of it, but when he died in 2010, his children all agreed that this poem was the perfect sendoff. Here it is on the original typed page, and below, as it…

Act One, a published book of Poems by George Murray
George Murray’s only book of poems was entitled “Act One”, self-published in 1976, printed by Triton Press in California.  His first book “Act One” was dedicated to his second wife Ursula, though perhaps it should have been named “Act Two” under those circumstances…  🙂 I believe it was Ursula, who hand-drew the black, stenciled letters of the…
