À propos de l'auteur

Review by Janet van Eeden A well-known personality in KwaZulu-Natal is David Nicoll. With his unique blend of rhyming poetry this Scotsman has built up a reputation of entertaining poetry groups, Splashy Fen audiences and anyone keen to listen. He usually accompanies his poems with drumming or guitar. The Live Poets Society in Durban has had many lively evenings due to his performances. Nicoll has now compiled two collections: one of Poetry, thoughts and reflections, and the other of POKES – POetic joKES with a saucy edge. In fact, a friend and I named him “the Hard Bard” after listening to a particularly racy recitation one night. Nicoll has always reminded me of the travelling players of Medieval times, driven to tell his story through words and music and happy to keep crowds entertained in the way he knows best. Draughtsman by day, travelling bard by night, Nicoll has lived a colourful life, to say the least. His poems have been recited in many fora – most notably, one in honour of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday was heard on Radio 2000. Now he has published Thoughts and Reflections and a collection of POetic joKES, POKES, which will keep many people laughing around firesides. David was selected to be included in the International Whos Who of poetry for 2012.
