Friday, July 26th Olympia Poetry Network will be hosting Thomas A. Thomas to read from and discuss his new poetry collection My Heart is Not Asleep from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.In the poems of his new book, Thomas A. Thomas delicately reconstructs moments from a shared life altered by the gradual dissolution caused by Alzheimer's. Through lyrical verses, Thomas navigates the landscape of memory, where physical intimacy melds with present longing, blurring the lines of what was and what is. Nature, a silent witness to their journey, becomes a companion in Thomas's, echoing their story- from the tender touch of picking berries to the profound significance of "the month apples begin to blush at the thought of falling." My Heart Is Not Asleep delineates a world where pain and beauty converge, where love endures. This book is a powerful affirmation of humanity and courage.
-Dzvinia Orlowsky, author of Bad Harvest
