Review
There's something in this collection to spark new interest, remind those familiar with her well-loved lines and introduce readers to her evolving style over the years. From the dazzling word-work of the early poems, to the gorgeous complexity of her glosas, her skill at fitting line to image and colour to sound is nothing less than stellar -- especially in the way she could make rhyme steep in the vowels and tickle at the back of the mind. Musicality and understanding of rhythm pervades her work. From her beginnings as a poet with an imagistic approach, to the broadening and deepening of the later years, these spiritual, seeking, overcoming poems are compelling. Privileging natural imagery and a disillusionment with contemporary obsessions, the poems reveal a poet who rarely falters.
(Heather Craig St John Telegraph-Journal )What the book presents is a poetic tour de force. It illustrates how firmly accomplished Page's work was from the beginning of her career.
(Jay Ruzesky Event )`If you are interested in seeing the developments in the long career of an exemplary poet this book is a gem. If you want to celebrate World Poetry Day by enjoying the products of a fertile, original mind, again, this book is for you. As Page is a wonderful Canadian poet who needs to be even more widely read, this collection of her work is something I will be recommending for all poetry lovers for a long time to come.'
(The Indextrious Reader )Product Description
Kaleidoscope is the first in a series of ten volumes to be published over the next ten years as a complement to an online hypermedia edition of the Collected Works of P. K. Page. Listed chronologically by date of composition, the poetry in Kaleidoscope is fluid, wondrous and technically exquisite, drawing on subjects great and small, and it offers a comprehensive look at one of Canada's most beloved and brilliant poets.

Combining some of the best from her previous volumes as well as many new poems, Jan 14 2011
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kaleidoscope: Selected Poems (Paperback)
A lifetime's worth of passion and dedication. "Kaleidoscope: Selected Poems" is a collection of poetry from P. K. Page covering her long line of work. Combining some of the best from her previous volumes as well as many new poems, it's a comprehensive taste of Page's style and work. "Kaleidoscope" is a fine addition to any poetry collection, highly recommended. "The World": It is like a treacle, the world./I am caught in its golden threads,/a fly in a honey pot.
