WE MET Gary a couple of months ago after he had a display of his poems at the Thameside Theatre. We then asked Gary if he would be happy to re-enact a poem once a month in a series of locations.
A quietly spoken man whose words on paper give a feel for life in Thurrock 2010.
Here, we have a quick chat with Gary before he recites a poem about the police helicopters overhead.
I went to school with this guy and to say I’m surprised is an understatement. What an amazing talent. If only our old teachers could see him now!
