REVIEWS
Bushfire Festival Swaziland 2011
“The House of Truth introduces a new voice in South African literature tonight. Croc-e…His poetry is introspective and had he been invisible you would not have guessed that he is a white boy without inhibition. His words are universal and fresh with subliminal attitude. He could be speaking from anywhere in the world. In the context of South African poetry this is a voice of the present if not the future.” - Sandile Dikeni, Cape Times 2001
“In the Poetry Arena new talent is featured heavily with the addition of the ‘New Voices of Poetry’ section. This is an opportunity for up and coming Poets to showcase their talent on stage. Last year acts included Croc E Moses, an extraordinary spoken-word performer who uses his native South African rhythms…”. - Latitude Festival, UK 2007
“Canadian born poet Croc E Moses mystified the crowd with politically charged poems and personal comments on contemporary issues on the continent. His experiences in Canada, Swaziland and South Africa echoed in renditions punctuated with metaphors, and accompanied by live and recorded music.” - John Owoo, Ghanaian Journalist, Bushfire Festival, Swaziland 2008
“I love your way with words, you joy fully unlock the gird this English tongue can be, revealing the hidden magic of music and meaning within.”
- Malika Ndlovu, Cape Town 2008
“Like it? I think he’s masterful!… I think he loves life, and definitely love, and has thrown himself into both enough to laugh at himself and them both. I can see why his performance brought down the house. He’s the king of suggestion, naughty but so nice. I especially like the line that I remember as, “I love my love because she loves love.” Much fun and a very “dangerous” man for many women, I suspect.” - Kitt Albritton, USA 2009
