Doug Tanoury is exclusively a poet of the internet with the vast majority of his work being published online and never leaving electronic form. His verse can be read at electronic magazines and journals across the world.   Doug cites his 7th grade poetry anthology used in Sister Debra's English class as exerting the greatest influence on his work. He still keeps a copy of Reflections On A Gift Of Watermelon Pickle And Other Modern Verse (Stephen Dunning, Edward Lueders and Hugh Smith, (c)1966 by Scott Foresman & Company) at his writing desk.     mailto:dtanoury1@home.com   http://www.funkydogpublishing.com         Sparrows & Other Poems   © 2001 Doug Tanoury, USA
