Remnants Restante Reste

by Annette Snyckers

Her poems are as subtle and intimately telling as the differences between the three languages in which she writes and battles to live and dream. These verses touch and tug at one another like the Afrikaans of her childhood, the German of her husband and the South African English of her homeland. They agree to differ in all sorts of nuanced ways.

Reviews

"In a series of jewel-like images, poems like paintings, Annette Snyckers evokes the real and imagined journeys of a lifetime. Beautifully conceptualised and crafted, the poems in Remnants, Restante, Reste are easy to read and yet deep. When the end comes (too soon) we don’t want to part company with the poet."

Finuala Dowling

"Annette Snyckers’ poetry attests to the rich inner world of a woman who has sharpened her sensitivity against reality from a young age and has found escape and safety in all the wild places of the world. Her poems, in three languages, leave the reader feeling calm and vicariously nourished. Remnants Restante, Reste is a whisper of solace."

Karin Schimke

"In this, her first volume of poetry Annette Snyckers both affirms and radically questions with steely restraint, her place in the family of things and all the conflicting things of family."
