In Braiding the Voices, Peter Steele brings to bear a lifetime of reading, writing, and teaching prose and poetry. With gusto and focus, these essays concert poets and poems of different tempers and aspirations. They are by Gwen Harwood, Les Murray, Peter Porter, Vincent Buckley and, further afield, Fleur Adcock, Richard Wilbur, Anthony Hecht, W.S. Merwin, Deborah Randall, Ben Belitt, Norman MacCaig, R.S. Thomas, P.J. Kavanagh, Seamus Heaney and Gerard Manley Hopkins. The writing of some of his own poems is also addressed. Characteristically, Steele refers copiously also to much else. The book investigates some of the ways in which individual poets have found what they most wanted to say, and how their art takes its place in the general conversation of humanity itself. Applauding the dexterity and the variety with which this feat is carried off by the poets, Steele's distinctive prose is deliberately fashioned to be as hospitable to insight as possible.

These poems have been written over a ten-year period since the publication of my first book in 2011. They deal mainly with love: for my children and grandchildren, for travel, for art, for nature, and for the many people with whom I've fallen in love over a lifetime.The poems also explore the many poetic forms I've discovered along the way and couldn't wait to try out. I had already written Sonnets and Villanelles but later discoveries such as the Rondel, Pantoum and Sestina all had to be attempted and conquered. There is at least one of each of these forms in this collection.
