1 Danny Gardner and Maureen Ten Co-launch Belgrove Press’s First Title for 2017 : Willem Tibben’s ‘suburban Veneer Danny Gardner , Ten Ch'in U , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , July-September no. 23 2017;

'We are prompted to ask what lies beneath the veneer. In the first segment ‘the smell of cows’ it is habitations, movements, the states of being of myriad life-forms. Willem is engaged in attentive observation of each creature enacting its drama, its cabaret, its well-made play. He gives us unmistakable images of the situation, the gesture, the unfolding sequence of activity. His theme is the predicament; his task, reporting back accurately.' (Introduction)
