In Drawing Water Dorian Haarhoff trundles his story wagon through many villges, riverbeds. He gazes at the sky, drinks from many wells and swims in many seas. The poems are intimate, personal, and informed by images that open to mystery.
Despite the seeming effortless grace of these poems, there is never any doubting the superb craftsmanship and attention to detail on display in this collection.
John Lindley
His poetry is lyrical, rhythmic... a tree rising out of the African earth.
Bob Commin
Mythology, creation spirituality, whole brain theory, the new physics, narrative therapy, eco- and Jungian psychology and the poetic tradition influence his writing and work.
