What they said about Human Geography: 

" ...over and again his poems manage to listen in on unexamined lives while at the same time drawing a larger world into their compass. " 
Paul Farley

" Colin Watts brings us a world in turn as humorous and poignant, lyrical and absurd, as the one in which we live " 
Amanda Dalton

" Amusing, self-deprecating, gentle, or bitter, there are many voices in these poems " 
John Ballam, New Hope International 2009
