Endorsements as to her talent and ongoing contribution to the literary arts are multiform. 

Still, one of the most significant is that written by the esteemed film score composer Trevor Jones in the foreword to Weeping Becomes a River. 

“Her writing has an underlying political relevance, not only as a commentary on the politics of South Africa and her ethnicity but also as an eagerness to address and redress the gender balance. 

In this work, she juxtaposes a mythic story with poems, creating an intriguing world through this unusual narrative form, conjuring up new experiences and realities and triggering ideas that resonate in the reader’s mind.

“I would encourage those curious to allow themselves to journey with her into a world where she conjures up unfamiliar experiences and creates captivating realities imbued with fascination and intrigue. 

In her word paintings of a world with all its attendant emotions, she crafts languages to convey tangible and intangible ideas. 

The unfamiliar becomes familiar as her choice of words and their relevance creates a unique form of poetry redolent with meaning, atmosphere and depth of emotion.”
