"The horizon fading below the Atlantic's gray waves/ appears
to tell only of stories past/ because the sun glides over and
away toward the west,/ leaving the promise and prophecy of
tomorrow to a distant land," begins the author's lament in this
collection's final poem Eternal New York. But this is not the
end, but the beginning. In America Now, we find a country
worth fighting for in its simple natural beauty, its faith in God,
and its ability to imagine a world where New Jerusalem has
descended.

NOTES FROM A POET'S JOURNAL: Poems are soul narratives. Each poem in
this collection provides a glimpse into the author's heart and soul. And what will be
found in the dimly lit halls of the temple? A soul on its knees, reaching out in
alternating fits of despair and joy toward the hope and promise that the bright
Morning Star brings. . .
"Gregor really knows how to captivate you and stir up your imagination. I found
myself totally absent from the real world around me. I could actually feel that wind
and see the leaves and hear the cries. Wow! This work is hypnotic! What a great
read!”
