In Bladspieel – die digter se agste digbundel – verken Marlise
Joubert in 'n kenmerkend vloeiende styl temas soos verganklikheid
en verval, onthou en verewiging, liefde en familieverhoudings,
digterskap en die skryfproses. Die gedigte verwoord, en word as't
ware 'n afbeelding van, die ervarings van die digter as belewende
subjek, en betrek so die leser op intieme wyse by haar ervarings
van die alledaagse.

My Afrikaans is rusty but I still enjoyed this volume of poetry. From the powerful "So is dit nou" with its melancholy undertone to the pragmatic acceptance of a life changed in an instant to the delightful poems to her grandchildren, the poet draws the reader in. Her vivid descriptions of everyday life are underpinned with deeper emotions ("verloop"), but the volume also embraces wider issues ("treursang" written on Nelson Mandela's death.) I'm sure I missed a lot of the nuances, as always when reading translations or in a language that is not one's mother tongue, but the poetry was strong enough for me to still enjoy it. The cover art, drawn by the poet Marlise Joubert, is stunning.
