The Hurricurrent is a book of poetry with unusual forms, surprising images, and a simple yet sophisticated language that encompasses doubt and humor. *** "The Hurricurrent has a profound sense of lived-ness about it; of being felt and heard and experienced along the bone. It also has a unique quality in SA poetry of gently and naturally combining a local flavour and local voice with what one might call a more metaphysical voice, a voice concerned with giving the interior its rightful shape and sound." -- Kobus Moolman, U. of KwaZulu Natal
