A few of you one of my best friends, Gray Nicholls is also a
really, really good poet in his own right.
Somewhat quiet by nature, earlier in the year, he asked me
to help him edit what has now become his debut book the together ‘waiting for
nancy’ which is a series of 17 poems telling the story between a man and a
woman and write the blurb on the back of the book and then publish it on my own
page on lulu.com.
It can be bought here - http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/gray-nicholls/waiting-for-nancy/paperback/product-22502540.html?ppn=1
The blurb is ‘ An ‘on the road’ for the 21st
Century in verse told on the streets of Manchester (UK) which jumps up and down
between pathos, humour and a rich earthiness exploring a relationship between
two very different people which begins off as a relationship before going off
in a totally different direction.
Gray’s words throughout each piece are tingled with a
edginess bordering on the genre of a emotional thriller, constantly spinning
backwards and forwards which by the end certainly had made me look at places in
some cases I had known for years in totally different ways.’
Definitely a name to watch.
Highly recommended.
Andy N.’
The original versions of the poems are still available on
his profile on write out loud (although are quite different from what ended up
in the book)
