A Glance Into the Mind: Early Writings: Verse and Prose

By Dr. Don Giles and Don Giles

Poems and Short Stories written by Don Giles. Don began writing poems and short stories as an early teenager. During his late teens and early twenties, Don also wrote or co-wrote lyrics and melodies to over fifty songs. He also played various instruments in the recordings, including rhythm, lead, and bass guitars, keyboards, and drums. While displaying both spiritual and existential themes throughout his writings, Don's focus was always on the extraordinary dimensions of mind and experience, as they work together to form a cohesive entity that we commonly refer to as "self". Of course, Don also loved to simply have fun with his writing, allowing the reader to watch humans being human - whether falling in love or engaged in amazing adventures. Don has been the recipient of several writing awards, including the Sandra Lee Cuni award for Creative Writing at Thomas More College in 1986 for his short story "Way To Go".
