In the preface of the anthology, Dreams For Sale, Jay G says the poetry has been stripped bare from its first writing, sanitised in a manner of speaking, as it was mainly written under the influence of drugs and always in a different country.

The style of writing is spare, the wording sharp, clean and driven as each piece is revealed: the ramblings of a man who is hiding from life, or the words of a man who is striving to make sense of life!

The title Dreams For Sale is a phrase that offers his inner vision to those who care to take the time to look, so see each piece as a dream, a wish, a hope that things change, that by being in the moment, all-be-it an hallucinogenic moment, the many issues of life are laid bare, clear and untrammelled.

This is not comfortable poetry, quite the opposite; the words on the page are confrontational, opening doors to worlds that do exist just not to everyman, which leaves a sense of disturbance after the reading.

Those who enjoy eclectic poetry, who live on the edge and see the world though many and varied lenses will relate to the work, others will be offered a choice as they turn the page.
