Bücher von Nicolette Van Der Walt

If the flower had a voice it would sing with Nicolette's poetic translations from the soul. There is no other poet who writes with such eloquence and transparency from the heart of a falling petal or the weeping of a crushed hope. She captures the biography of a flower so delightfully that it is hard not to melt in the sun or sigh like a swollen moon each time a flower closes or opens. You will find solace beneath the surface of Nicolette's poetry and you will feel inclined to embrace her words with a subdued passion; not because there is anything quiet about it, but because Nicolette has found the hush between heartbeats. The silence that frightens many is the very place from where she translates the emotion with stunning lyrical notability.
