"This body of work saw my narratives explore end times: apocalypse, or the end of things as we know it. Even as the stories are autobiographical, they feed off a global tension. In these narratives, my characters accept, grieve or deny their respective apocalypses. But all things must come to an end and, often, this process can be so beautiful." - Octavia Roodt
'Apocalypse'
reuse vlam
en roet en reuk
et'lik keer
met draak gesteek
brand 'n gatjie
in die nag
dragtig, kwaad, vol
met mag
