Some look rationally, some at the event, some look nowhere in particular. / But here it’s less about the gaze, / more about the circular pink cheeks clapped by hands / not applauding, but astounded. / Ashamed by invasion. — Klara Du Plessis (@ToMakePoesis)

“Post-Mortem of the Event is a powerfully intelligent and insightful collection [...] It amply demonstrates the rigour and depth of thought animating Du Plessis's practice, and is simultaneously both a remarkable analysis and creative work”—Alan Reed
