While his first "poem" dates from childhood (and should be burned), Greg Salvatore didn't really start writing poetry until high school - and then he couldn't stop. He also writes prose, which can be found on his Murmurs and Dreams Substack - a continuation of his two blogs: Dreams of Literary Grandeur (started in May 2009) and Murmurs from the Balcony (started in August 2012). Though he grew up on the East Coast, he currently resides in Seattle with his wife and their cat. This is his second collection of poetry.
