Poet Interview: Kobus Moolman

“I think the clinical aspect that you so accurately identify has its origins in specific medical experiences [I have had], which reflect directly upon the collection as a whole. It is where the whole collection comes from in a way and speaks back to.

So that’s the one side to the image.”
