I could not resist copying the text (below) from a Comment made against my recent Post “I don’t like poetry!”
** *** **** *** **
“MY ADVICE as an English major and having a Master’s in literature and being in LOVE with poetry is…BUY THIS BOOK. Colin’s poetry is not only understandable (although pieces of it come back to “haunt” me and I take the book down from my shelf and reread a particular poem often), but moving and interesting, and worth the price of the book. I even used one of his poems with my Advanced Writing Class, and it caused the most wonderful discussion and a real “ah-ha” teaching moment. I highly recommend it!”

The book “Just Thinking” can be purchased direct from the FriesenPress Bookstore, and all other major on-line book retailers, and is available in eBook, Paperback and Hard Cover formats.
The cover (both image and words) looks great.

Thank you FG, and the price was right! We took the pic late one Summer evening down by the lake, and the words were also (of course) free! 🙂

I know what you mean, but you absolutely deserve it. The way you express your thoughts and observations are exactly how the professor describes it.

Wow! That should definitely put a spring in your step and a smile in your heart. 🙂
I have also had times where I have opened your book to re-read certain poems.

That is exactly what I wanted. A book that could be picked up when time permits, and probably for just a few minutes each time, in order explore another poem or, even better, to revisit a poem read earlier. 🙂
