Guest

Reg Starkey played a pivotal role in shaping my life, especially during a time when I was deeply struggling. My passion for writing poetry, particularly beat poetry, had led me to admire literary giants like Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Carl Sandburg. I was crafting my own London-inspired versions of their works when Reg intervened. He told me he knew someone who could publish my poetry. In reality, he meant he knew a printer and he himself would cover the printing costs, but I perceived it as a promise of proper publication. Thanks to Reg Starkey, my poetry saw the light of day, marking the beginning of an important chapter in my life.
