Gepubliseer op 20 Augustus 2010. Die voorblad is een van my paletmes-kunswerke. Dankie aan almal vir jul ondersteuning op my skrywerspad. Alle eer aan my Skepper.
Wanneer 'n plaaskind wat baie geborge en veilig in 'n huis vol liefde grootgeword het, die lewe tref, verstaan jy nie altyd alles nie. Die lewe word 'n pelgrimstog deur driwwe en dale, oor hoogtes en ver verby horisonne.
Bittersoet lê hope herinneringe van 'n lewe geleef met oorgawe. Al die getye van menswees word in dié debuutbundel ontbloot.

Depicted here – my first published work, a book on Afrikaans poetry published on 20 August 2010 – truly a labour of love and a dream come true for me!
On the cover is a photograph of one of my own paintings – again, what a wonderful moment to enjoy the fruit of my labour captured in two memorable and lasting mediums. This is truly more than any artist could ever hope to aspire to.
May I take this opportunity to thank all who inspire and encourage me in my work – I am sure that many of you do not even realise that you are a part of this, but I thank you for all the special moments!
This work took approximately two years to complete, with the printing and layout taking exactly nine months – perhaps there is a special symbolism in the nine months, as to me this is truly the birth of something wonderful.
The book is available for sale. (you can mail me for more info)
