Guest Speaker
Get Greg to bring his poetry to life by coming to your school or function to speak. As well as reciting some of his humorous pieces of verse, he will entertain you with some amusing stories about when and where he has heard some of the erroneous expressions highlighted in “Casting Nasturtiums”. He might also do the odd piece or two from his other book of verse, “Tall Tales but True”, and perhaps talk about the difficulties facing unknown authors trying to get published.
To initiate the process simply send an email, stating when and where you would like Greg to speak, to greg@castingnasturtiums.com.
Speaking engagements cost $300, or $800 for a full day (multiple presentations or presentation and workshop). Visits to locations outside the greater Melbourne area may attract an additional travel fee. Furthermore we may be unable to satisfy requests for speaking engagements outside Australia, at all. On the other hand if Oprah Winfrey wants Greg as a guest on her Show, he’ll be there!
If you would like to hear Greg reciting some of his pieces of verse, there is an ~.mp3 recording of each of the “Casting Nasturtiums” sample poems made available on the Preview pages. Just click on the “Nasturtium Speaker” image, which looks like this:

Our Year 9 students burst into spontaneous applause on hearing Greg recite his witty poetry! Greg made us all reflect on how frequently we make blunders with the English language. Thank you for your entertaining talk!
Kind regards
