This is no exaggeration.’- Dr Christopher HeathcoteATEGORY HERE’Along with the rest of the world, I first heard Joe Dolce’s song, 'Shaddap You Face', many times and delighted in Joe’s vivid performance. Sometime after, I realised that the Joe Dolce who wrote entertaining and informative articles in Quadrant magazine was, astonishingly, the writer and singer of a song that was a No. 1 hit in 15 countries. Re-reading dozens of Joe Dolce’s witty and informative articles has tied me up for weeks (this was NOT an ordeal) while preparing this introduction to Crooked Timber. He has won numerous prizes for his verse, and his latest collection, At the Noisy Cafe Selected Poems 2017-2023, contains some of the most touching poems - including the title poem - that I have ever read. I look forward to more songs, more stories, more essays, more reviews, more poems, and more recipes from the energetic, charismatic Joe Dolce.’ - from the introduction by Academy Award winning film director, Bruce Beresford.
