'As this poetry soars over the many continents of Tineke Van der Eeken's life, it repeatedly reveals places to land. It is fascinating terrain: with unflinching honesty she tracks love's tenacity and trauma's residue. Her range of subjects is vast, born of lived experience. But although they encompass the panoptic gaze of a visionary scanning past and future, these poems delight in the discipline of detail, forensic and personal. A virtuoso linguist, this poet remains accessible and enjoyable.' (Publication summary)

1 1 y separately published work icon Traverse Tineke Van der Eecken , Greenmount : Wild Weeds Press , 2018 15490164 2018 single work autobiography

'Traverse, a travel memoir, charts the unfolding disintegration of a marriage and a woman's last-ditch attempt to rescue it by taking a difficult and dangerous trek with her husband.

'The landscape of Madagascar proves as rocky as her relationship, and the path forward must be hacked through harsh, uncharted jungle. The terrain, in particular the powerful Bemarivo River, brings her face to face with her own limitations and demons from her past. It forces her to find the strength for this rite of passage and to reconsider her future.

'By pushing through a physical feat of endurance and closely examining the emotional truth of her situation in a challenging test of resilience, she must finally resolve her own and her husband's future, for herself and for her family.

'Traverse is a forensic examination of the denouement of a fractured marriage. Here you will find love, confrontation and resolution in a dangerous but captivating land.' (Publication summary)
