'Doug Gregory is a people watcher with a keen eye and a sharp memory. His latest book is a poetic memoir, tinged with nostalgic pathos. There are some classic images and memories in it and I love the humor. The poems are honest, the language colloquial, as Gregory crafts candid and clever portraits of times past and of people he's known. The poet captures ordinary humans and familiar times, often with wry humor. The public phone box, typing pool, and rock music and hippy days are fondly, portrayed.
