TERRA, his epic poem, rekindles the bardic tradition and gives a sense of sacredness toward the earth. "I like Hale Thatcher's poetry because it comes to the edge of the supernatural and then stays there. But it is really our own shared world; the natural perceived with such pure wonder through such clear senses, that it seems supernatural. And its very beautiful writing." Thom Gunn "Not just a nature poet ,Hale Thatcher is a primitive, a visionary. He is to poetry what Henri Rousseau is to painting."

"Mila is a world class stringed-instrument musician" Jens Lund, Washington State Arts Commission folklorist "an accomplished fingerstyle player...Mila displays great sensitivity and passion..."
