Deeper and richer than before, Kobus Moolman's voice in the poem
cycle 'Light and After' gathers strength to climax in the third
section 'Anatomy'. Sometimes terse and astringent, sometimes
luxurious, the poems are always specific, rooted in the cycles of
earth and body. This is a beautiful work, distinctively South
African in its imagery and diction. - Joan Metelerkamp Moolman's
strengths as one of the leading voices in South African poetry come
through when he's most vulnerable - when he battles the varied
manifestations of ordinary life. - Mxolisi Nyezwa, reviewing
Separating the Seas 'Anatomy' is searing, honest and brave. It
opens to the reader in progressively intimate revelations that
enable one to experience the narrator's visceral reality. - Liesl
Jobson, Judge's report, DALRO Prize awarded to Moolman's 'Anatomy'
for best poem in New Coin 2008 Beneath the bare trees stripped to
sky, and smelling of dust, two old hands hold, fold and rehold a
thin sheet of earth 'Where is the wind? And why is the wind never a
tree anymore?' the hands ask, folding. 'The bare branches of the
bare trees no longer hold anything. All falls through the thin
earth. Why, even the sky, ' the hands say, 'has dropped all of its
clouds.' Kobus Moolman has published three collections of poetry:
Time like Stone, Feet of the Sky and Separating the Seas, as well
as several plays. He has been awarded the Ingrid Jonker prize, the
PANSA award, and the DALRO poetry prize. He teaches creative
writing at the University of KwaZulu Natal in Pietermaritzburg,
South Afric
