Robert Berold gives feedback on Outside the cave

Robert Berold, South African poet and publisher of deep south books, writes:

I finished reading outside the cave  -- a unique book in SA poetry, in the beat idiom (corso and beiles mostly) but with deeper feeling. the narratives jump hotfooted into metaphor and out again, from violence to longing, pain to humour.
