A Tapestry of Verse is a
varied and wide-ranging collection of poems rhymes and odes which
explore life's rich tapestry. "Essex Bard" Dennis Shrubshall draws on
his personal memories, his time as a National Serviceman, his
friendships and his musings on comedy and romance.

Voices of the Poppies – An Anthology from Forces Poetry (published by SilverWood Books in 2008).
Dennis is a member of
FLOW for All – a not-for-profit organisation which has Dame Vera Lynn as its Patron.
