In a Stone's Hollow is strong as poetry but also for its political and historical significance: the experiences of a young South African recruit in World War II, and then, in the second part, the poems shift to South Africa and focus on a child's dawning awareness of racism and apartheid. The language is spare and under control and has genuine immediacy. The poems never preach but are lined out with a cool and therefore devastating effect. -Vern Rutsala, author of The Moments Equation, 2OO5 National Book Award finalist
