The wide appeal of Colin Thiele's verse is essentially that of his ability to translate everyday scenes and emotions into word and rhythms which awaken a deep response within the reader....the feeling that " I too have felt like this." In an age when too much poetry is distinguished only by its incomprehensibilty, Colin Thiele still performs the poet's traditional task of crystallising the "whirling particles of life" into an almost tangible experience. This is the first general collection of hes verse t be published, and presents a wide selection of his work from 1940 to the present day.
