A Long Way from Essex

This is a comprehensive range of everyday close to the bone poems by Doug Gregory with sensitivity to other peoples difficult lives. They are insightful and compelling. His poetry is universal; it is out there commenting most effectively on lifes foibles as well as its delights. It is tender sometimes on recollection pessimistic - though his fine sense of goodwill overcomes the pessimism - and often full of fun. Sand Writers have been delighted to publish Dougs poems in our journal Speak Out. - Roger Rees President Sand Writers Inc.
