Dorien Grey

Dorien Grey is very much two people…perhaps only figuratively, but profoundly. Though he began as a pseudonym for a career book and magazine editor, he's taken on a life of his own as he increasingly embodies those aspects of his originator's life which for whatever reason cannot otherwise be expressed. Both, however, are hopeless, hopelessly unapologetic romantics who insist on seeing the world as they would have it be rather than as it is.

Dorien has been writing steadily since the age of about ten. His earliest known work, however, was a poem he dictated to his mother when he was still too young to write himself. It was a touching ode to cowboys, the final line of which was: "And the cowboys yelled ‘Yippee!' and everything else." Obviously, the boy had talent.

He hopes with this chapbook of poetry to share with you, the reader, not only his own experiences and views, but to touch chords of memory and empathy within yourself. And just as Dorien is part of his originator, Dorien hopes that you might come away from these poems feeling as though you are a part of him.

[He doesn't mention above that his most recent incarnation is as a mystery writer with a greatly successful series based on the adventures of private investigator, Dick Hardesty,
all available at GLB Publishers:
The Butcher's Son, The 9th Man , The Bar Watcher, The Hired Man,
The Good Cop, The Bottle Ghosts,  and The Dirt Peddler, his latest release as of 2003.
