`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions
^lovetodeviate
reports, September 28
reports, September 28An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:
“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”
“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”
“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

Australian author Colin Thiele dies
`mirrorkills
reports, September 4, 2006
reports, September 4, 2006He was admitted two days ago following a heart complication and passed away at noon on Monday with his immediate family, including wife Rhonda, by his bedside.
The couple have two daughters, Janne and Sandy.
New Holland Publishers spokesman, Ian Dodd, said the loss would be felt around the world.
The publishing house has released many of Thiele's books over the decades.
"It is a great loss because the stuff he has released has left a mark on many generations of Australia and the world," he said.
"I was a kid of the 70s and in public school education we all saw Storm Boy about three times in my year growing up. He was an educator and a legend. He will be hugely missed."
Mr Dodd, who spoke briefly with Mrs Thiele on Monday, said the heart complication was a result of a faulty valve following surgery a few years ago.
The renowned author and poet was born in Eudunda, a small town north of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, on November 16, 1920.
He was educated in various country schools, graduated from the University of Adelaide and served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during the World War II.
Thiele later taught in high schools and colleges of advanced education, where he was director of various tertiary colleges until his retirement in 1981.
During his career, Thiele has published almost 80 books spanning many subjects including poetry, fiction, drama, history and biography.
Children's book Storm Boy, a tale about a boy and his pelican released in 1966, is his best-known work and was adapted to film in 1976.
The film won the Jury and Best Film awards at the 1977 Australian Film Institute (AFI) awards and starred notable Australian Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil.
His other works include The Fire in the Stone, Magpie Island, Poems in My Luggage and The Hammerhead Light.
Thiele has won many awards and citations for merit and has been translated and published extensively overseas.
He was also honoured as a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1977, as well as being awarded the Dromkeen Medal in 1997, for his contribution to the appreciation and development of children's literature in Australia.
Thiele's family are expected to release an official statement regarding his death.
