Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].

==Early Years==

The son of [Loading Image...
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.

He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.

He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.

The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.

c2c6b40a56757929?hl=en alt.zines review from January 7 1996]
<blockquote>felt, 50c postpaid. [[Minicomic]], eight pages.
[[William Dockery]], P.O. Box
xxxx, [[Phenix City, Alabama]] 36868.
On the back cover of this tome is written the words, "Second
Printing."
I was going to joke that with Dockery, this means my copy is not only
the
second printing but the second copy. However, this damn thing is
actually
very well written. Maybe he did actually print more than one copy in
the
first printing, and sold out!
felt begins poorly, but picks up at the top of page four. Then
things
really get going at the bottom of page four, and the lines roll on
through
thunderous poetic crescendoes right to the end. There are amazing
images
here; [[Tatumville]] park, the memory of Tracy, the father who's "a
grey cat,"
even a lake of disappearing paths.
I highly recommend this chapbook on two counts, as a stunning book
of
poems and as a sample of the best the comics small press has to offer.

As a compromise, I suggest we let Will be "The Poet of the Pissbums."
I think that was Bukowski.

I think that was Bukowski.
So you'd prefer "The Wannabe Poet of the Pissbums"?

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years==
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.
==Discography==
* ''[[Bag of Groceries]]'' (1982) material written and recorded with
Jim Pontius and P.D. Wilson.
* ''[[Shadowville All-Stars]][http://www.myspace.com/

[[William Dockery]], P.O. Box
xxxx, [[Phenix City, Alabama]] 36868.
On the back cover of this tome is written the words, "Second
Printing."
I was going to joke that with Dockery, this means my copy is not only
the
second printing but the second copy. However, this damn thing is
actually
very well written. Maybe he did actually print more than one copy in
the
first printing, and sold out!
felt begins poorly, but picks up at the top of page four. Then
things
really get going at the bottom of page four, and the lines roll on
through
thunderous poetic crescendoes right to the end. There are amazing
images
here; [[Tatumville]] park, the memory of Tracy, the father who's "a
grey cat,"
even a lake of disappearing paths.
I highly recommend this chapbook on two counts, as a stunning book
of
poems and as a sample of the best the comics small press has to offer.

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years=> > >
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years==
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.

It isn't just a bait store, more of a General/Country store in classic form, which was run for decades by Mr. Hearn and now continues on, after his death.

A perfect place to display a book by a "Poet of the People".

Selected Poems 1976-2019 by Will Dockery
https://www.amazon.com/Selected-Poems-1976-2019-Will-Dockery/dp/0994860013

"Will Dockery was born in La Grange, Georgia, in 1958. Inspired by the poetry of Poe and Rimbaud and the music of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, he began writing poetry and song lyrics in junior high, and has been producing poetry chapbooks and recording his songs since the 1980s. He is a well known performance poet, and a past recipient of Playgrounds magazine's Perky Award for poetry. He later wrote a column for Playgrounds for over a decade. He lives in Columbus, Georgia. This book brings together poetry and song lyrics from all five decades of Dockery's career so far, to give an intimate look at the man and his work."

And a bait shop is Barnes and Noble.. in Shadowville.
It isn't just a bait store, more of a General/Country store in classic form, which was run for decades by Mr. Hearn and now continues on, after his death.
A perfect place to display a book by a "Poet of the People".
Selected Poems 1976-2019 by Will Dockery
https://www.amazon.com/Selected-Poems-1976-2019-Will-Dockery/dp/0994860013
"Will Dockery was born in La Grange, Georgia, in 1958. Inspired by the poetry of Poe and Rimbaud and the music of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, he began writing poetry and song lyrics in junior high, and has been producing poetry chapbooks and recording his songs since the 1980s. He is a well known performance poet, and a past recipient of Playgrounds magazine's Perky Award for poetry. He later wrote a column for Playgrounds for over a decade. He lives in Columbus, Georgia. This book brings together poetry and song lyrics from all five decades of Dockery's career so far, to give an intimate look at the man and his work."
:)
It's a redneck bait shop that your daughter and her slow husband Dustin work at. Everyone here knows you forced her into displaying your
"book" at the store even at the risk of her losing her job. Apparently she isn't getting along with hubby these days. Dustin needs to keep his dick on his pants.

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years=
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.
==Discography=
* ''[[Bag of Groceries]]'' (1982) material written and recorded with
Jim Pontius and P.D. Wilson.

c2c6b40a56757929?hl=en alt.zines review from January 7 1996]
<blockquote>felt, 50c postpaid. [[Minicomic]], eight pages.
[[William Dockery]], P.O. Box
xxxx, [[Phenix City, Alabama]] 36868.
On the back cover of this tome is written the words, "Second
Printing."
I was going to joke that with Dockery, this means my copy is not only
the
second printing but the second copy. However, this damn thing is
actually
very well written. Maybe he did actually print more than one copy in
the
first printing, and sold out!
felt begins poorly, but picks up at the top of page four. Then
things
really get going at the bottom of page four, and the lines roll on
through
thunderous poetic crescendoes right to the end. There are amazing
images
here; [[Tatumville]] park, the memory of Tracy, the father who's "a
grey cat,"
even a lake of disappearing paths.
I highly recommend this chapbook on two counts, as a stunning book
of
poems and as a sample of the best the comics small press has to offer.

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years==
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.
==Discography==
* ''[[Bag of Groceries]]'' (1982) material written and recorded with
Jim Pontius and P.D. Wilson.
* ''[[Shadowville All-Stars]][http://www.myspace.com/

Historical value...
Five minutes after Will Dockery is dropped into an unmarked hole he will be forgotten, except for the ridicule which will continue. The truth will come out and there's nothing you can do about it, George Sulzbach. To think he is proud of the posted mockery is truly sad.

Will Dockery is an [[American]] [[poet]], [[minicomic]] [[artist]] and
[[singer-songwriter]].
==Early Years==
The son of [http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Image:Kelly_H_Dockery.jpg
Kelly H. Dockery], a [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]] veteran,
later a Howard [[bus]] and [[taxicab]] driver, and [[Mildred
Whitley]], William Abraham Dockery was born in [[LaGrange, Georgia]]
on [[May 7, 1958]], where he would visit frequently during childhood,
being the home of his [[maternal]] grandparents. He lived in
[[Columbus, Georgia]], forty miles south of LaGrange, and both areas
meld into the [[alternate universe]] of [[Shadowville]] in his various
works of art.
He started playing music in 1961, when he got his first guitar. This
early phase in music was cut short, though, when he smashed the guitar
over his father's head, who was napping. He remembers he was emulating
a scene he'd seen on an episode of the television series [[Bonanza]]
or another of the [[western]]s popular in that era. [[Hank Williams]]
was an early hero, especially after watching ''[[Your Cheatin'
Heart]]'', the 1964 film of Hank Williams' life story with [[George
Hamilton]] playing Williams.
He attended [[Waverly Terrace Elementary]] school, where he won first
prize in kindergarden in a school-wide competition for a crayon
drawing of a [[witch]], obviously influenced by his early exposure to
[[comic book]]s and [[film noir]], which everything on [[television]]
resembled in the pre-color era of the 1960s.
The next year, in May of 1965, his family moved to the east side of
Columbus, where he attended [[Edgewood Elementary]] school. There, he
wrote his first [[poetry]], influenced by reading [[Edgar Allen Poe]]
and combining that with ideas influenced by popular music such as
[[The Beatles]]. Also during this time he created hundreds of hand
made, unpublished [[minicomic]]s, which included over 500 issues of
the adventure [[serial]] [[Uncle Jim]], ''Uncle Jim Comics and
Stories'' had a spinoff [[comic strip]] called [[Tonight Show Starring
Uncle Jim]], which filled many episodes in which [[guest host]]s
filled in for Uncle Jim in a parody of [[Johnny Carson]]'s television
series of the time. In May of 1970 Dockery made his return to music,
performing a cover of the [[Tiny Tim]] song ''[[Tiptoe Through the
Tulips]]''.
==Discography==
* ''[[Bag of Groceries]]'' (1982) material written and recorded with
Jim Pontius and P.D. Wilson.
* ''[[Shadowville All-Stars]][http://www.myspace.com/
shadowvilleallstars](2006-07) material written with [[Dennis Beck]]
and [[Brian Mallard]], including ''God's Toybox'', ''Dream Tears'' and
others.
* ''[[Dockery-Conley]]'' [http://www.myspace.com/willdockery]
(1998-2008) material written with [[Henry F. Conley]], including
''Ozone Stigmata'', ''Fadeaway Encounter'' and others.
