“The Hurricurrent is a book of unusual forms, surprising images, simple yet sophisticated language, encompassing doubt and humour.” – Deep South Website
“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
“There is a definite, inventive, audible voice in The Hurricurrent, which takes strength and originality from its precarious balance in the world, a voice constantly unlearning the ways we are taught to see, but also one capable of laying down two solid feet without losing a quirky, laughter-edged, unflinching note.”
– Denis Hirson
