Gilbert Gibson has returned to the literary scene after a decade with
vloei/stof, a collection in which he plays with language and form to create a sense of estrangement. Herman Wasserman makes his debut as a poet with Waterman, an accessible, engaging collection in which the poet expresses his personal experiences in fluid, sensitive language and enters into dialogue with poets who came before him. The two poets talk to Louise Viljoen about fluidity, water and the other elements present in their work. They both read from their collections.
