Synopsis

Kathleen Gregg's debut poetry collection, Underground River of Want, is a frank and unflinching account of devastating loss, bad choices, divorce and growing self-awareness. Be prepared to be heartbroken right along with the teenaged narrator after the sudden death of her father. Emotionally adrift and grief-stricken, the young girl launches a search for love and attention that becomes a destructive pattern in her life. After living through a dysfunctional marriage ending in divorce, the mature narrator picks herself up and faces the future with a new attitude and a strength that she finally realizes has always been there. The reader will cheer her along as life changes for the better; and the kind of love that has eluded her, now enters her life. The poems in this collection are evocative and engaging, lush with imagery, laced with musical references The last poem, Rolling with the Stones, is a joyous summation. Kathleen's poems will draw you in and then take you along on this somewhat biographical journey to self-discovery.
