A Tango with a Thistle

A montage of poetic imagery, A Tango with a Thistle is inspired by
the ordinary and extraordinary. Poems about the New England
landscape, whimsical questions posed by children, like what would
it be like to be a duck?-and derived from other situations, author
Shane Robitaille's poems will appeal to both poetry buffs and those
who haven't read a poem in years.

Although most poetry volumes do not include illustrations or
photography, Robitaille feels that photos enhance A Tango with a
Thistle's appeal. Paul Robitaille, who has been capturing New
England's unique landscape in photographs since he was a child,
took the pictures accompanying some of the poems.

From the beauty of a "Christmas Snow" to the vibrant sights of
"Spring Days," Robitaille's words form a masterful and
unforgettable collection. Whether you're young, young at heart,
new to poetry, or a rhyme connoisseur, the universal appeal of A
Tango with a Thistle will leave you greatly anticipating of your next
foray into nature.
