after reading Mari-Lou Rowley's poem, "Red Dog, Grey Day":"This poem changed my life. I was on the bus one day, strung out and high, my life was going down the toilet when I read that poem . . . Was I actually a 'dog without a leash' running down the freeway of life, perhaps down to Hades? Some call a thing like that 'a moment of clarity'. I put an end to many years of drug addiction around that time."
