Description:Prolific prairie poet Timothy Murphy wasn’t going to be done writing until the good Lord made it clear. But in early 2018, hearing the diagnosis “bone cancer,” he reckoned it might be sooner than later, so he set about creating what might be his final collection, giving it the working title of, Last Poems? The question mark was later removed; Murphy succumbed to the disease on June 30, 2018, at his humble Fargo home, strewn with Charles Beck art and cigarette butts, near the Red River. As described by the collection editor, poet and translator Catherine Chandler, Last Poems is a veritable journal intime, albeit one that Timothy Murphy wished to share with his readers. In his unmistakable voice, and often in stark language almost too painful to read, Tim chronicles his physical, spiritual, and emotional life during his final months, beginning on the day of his cancer diagnosis in early January 2018, through his various treatments, and ultimately his decision to withdraw from clinical trials. . . . Let [Last Poems] be my Last Will and Testament, Murphy writes in "Envoi." And so it is. Last Poems bears witness―with grace, grit, and gratitude―to the life and loves of this major North American poet.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
