Using true stories from her own family annals, Wioletta Greg makes a literary journey through the last century, from Poland at the outbreak of the First World War to present-day Britain. In her own selection of verse and prose poems, set mostly in the geographical heart of Europe, she charts two world wars, life under Communism and the ensuing liberation, and her own experiences as a migrant living in the Isle of Wight.
Wioletta Grzegorzewska, Wioletta Greg (9 February 1974) is a Polish poet and writer, born in a small village Rzeniszów in Jurassic Highland in Poland. In 2006, she left her country and moved to the Isle of Wight. She lives in Essex.

Between 1998 – 2012 she published six poetry volumes, as well as a novella Guguły, in which she's covering her childhood and the experience of growing up in Communist Poland.
