Winter, the Unwelcome Visitor is a book-length work of poetry divided into a five section poetic cycle. "South Africana: On The Way" puns on the word "Africana," used to describe the objects collected by European colonizers it also stands as a symbol of the dubious history and theft of South African objects and culture. "Post-Colony: Do Not Love Freedom" focuses on contemporary postcolonial issues in Canada and abroad. "Puzzletry" stands as the anchoring point of the work. Four short poems describe key elements of the work as a whole, inviting the reader to guess at the thematic words which characterize the text. "Being Brave" moves from a feminist examination of women's bodies in a colonizing context to the resistance-rhetoric found in the glossa inspired by Gwendolyn Brooks. "The Lover" explores the myriad of relationships that characterize sexual exploration. "Some of these poems are vivid evocations of South Africa's Western Cape, and elegies of loss; others capture moments of longing and desire between lovers, as well as passages of bitterness." --JM Coetzee. Winter, the Unwelcome Visitor amends the ordinary with the extraordinary. The work shows versatility in style and form and yet maintains poetic excellence: a careful balance of metaphor, imagery and thought. Always experimental, there is no one style that characterizes the book. From brief and academic, to wordy and effusive, the style shifts according to the subject. Unstintingly political, unforgivingly critical of commonly held ideas about the relationship of humans to the natural world and to each other, the relevance of this work to both a Canadian and International audience is undeniable.
