he has a sense of rhythm close to TS Eliot and
an eye for the modern image."
● Brian Rose, Rand Daily Mail
"It bears
testimony to the resilience and courage of the oppressed in South Africa ...
His poetry is devastatingly forthright and
hard-hitting.''
● Tyrone August, The Star
"Asvat's
imagery is stark ... his poems taut encapsulations of the injustices wreaked on
Black people." ● Asha Rambally, The Graphic
"Asvat's poem
(‘Possibilities for a Man Hunted by SBs’) is a clear and simple statement of
the true state of affairs ... reducible to mathematical terms."
● Mbulelo Mzamane, Perspectives On South African English
Literature
"Asvat's
poems ... with many depths, clever twists and juxtapositions, are exciting,
true, and thought-provoking."
● Wendy Vogt & Alan James, Upstream
"... an
almost palpable tenderness for a country whom the poet alludes to as if she
were a lover."
● Neela Alvarez-Pereyre, Commonwealth Essays & Studies
● The
Time Of Our Lives is the historically
important anthology whose poems played such a pivotal role in the struggle
against the height of oppression in South Africa. This completely revised edition includes
several poems that were not in the original collection, and the organisation of
the poems into a more coherent order. The Time Of Our
Lives accurately
portrays what it was like to live and fight, love and die under the
discrimination and tyranny of apartheid.
