His poems havebeen translated in many languages. He has also published extensively on literary theory and Germanliterature.This book stands among the most necessary writing that has been produced in thiscountry in the last quarter of a century. Horn has wrenched his poetic syntax awayfrom the prosody and forms of European traditions. He has forged a blunt, at timesbrutal rhythm as part of a poetic vehicle whose project is to remind a society of itselfpolitically and socially. With marked success he makes “socially privileged” readers/listeners angry, uncomfortable [...] Horn’s output is often compelled by an intense,burning anger, that, when focused, creates the most moving and elegiac poetry.It would reach into any person with a shred of compassion.Rod MacKenzie, Weekly MailA new beginning for South African Poetry. Dirk Klopper, StaffriderPeter Horn’s poetry exposes the superficiality of all debates which insist on a mechanisticopposition between aesthetics and politics. At the same time it dispels theillusion that mere political posturing and sloganeering can serve as substitutes forpoetry. … While there are many poets in South Africa who have devoted their talentsto upholding visions of a society free from the infamous aberrations of racialdomination, Peter Horn’s work stands out for its honesty, courage and accomplishment.Andries Walter Oliphant, New NationVan die politiek-betrokke digters wat hier in Engels skryf, is hy van blywendebelang.Phil du Plessis, Die BurgerVir diegene wat dus steeds vasgekluister sit in die debat rondom estetiek versuspolitiek, is Horn seersekerlik ietwat van a lastige geval…Marius Crous, Vrye WeekbladFew volumes of poetry by local poets achieve, with such consistency of standard, thewide range and probing depth shown by Peter Horn.EJH, Cape TimesPeter Horn’s poetry is prickly and sharp, bristling with reminders of the abyss everlikely to open at our feet … His wise cynical self-mockery is another saving grace: itplaces him firmly among the sinners … This poet scrupulously shares our guilt.Eastern Province HeraldHorn often manages to unite inner and outer South African landscapes to capturethe spiritual centre of the forms suffering can take in this country.Cherry Clayton, Snarl...poems that redefine and deeply move…Stephen Gray
