Comeback : Poems in Conversation 1984-1989

This book salutes Peter Esterhuysen, a fine and accomplished teller of stories. It is also a nod to a friendship that often expressed itself in poetic dialogue.

That first meeting was accidental,

incidental, or so it seemed then;

providential (as those of a romantic disposition

might describe it), undoubtedly consequential;

 one day while crossing a cement piazza

we unexpectedly crystallised into each other.
