The Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Anthology 2012

R220.00

Poetry lovers – those who enjoy reading it and those who are compelled to write it – will find in this collection a truly splendid experience of the country’s soul. So much of the ineffable human spirit and experience that usually remains untold is gently lifted above the surface with care, attention and honesty. Here, for the reader who must yet write of his or her own intimate recovery and sacred journey, are guideposts on the way. Here, for those who are already on the journey, are good and wise and funny journeymen and women to keep them company on the road. This year’s compilation features several distinguished names of the South African literary world, including (among others) Vonani Bila, Julian de Wette, David Maahlamela, Anthea Garman, Chris Mann and last year’s award winner Dawn Garisch.

Author Information

The second European Union Sol Plaatje Poetry Anthology represents a rich repository of South African voices, speaking in a range of languages from the side streets of the smallest hamlet to the highways of the biggest city. Eighty years after the death of Sol Plaatje, we celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of the people of this country with this award, imagining that the novelist, diarist and journalist, who translated Shakespeare into Setswana, no less, would be delighted to read the vibrant offerings of those who have followed in his footsteps. – Roeland Van de Geer, European Union Ambassador to South Africa
