The Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Anthology 2023
R240.00
Now in its 12th year, the Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Award is a launching pad for upcoming poets, writing in all South African languages. From slam poetry to formal rhyme, the anthology is a celebration of language and cultural diversity. Assembled by a brilliant team of judges, from a blind selection, this year’s compilation contains the best poems from over 250 entries, in 10 of the 11 South African languages. Named after Solomon Tshekiso Plaatje (1876 – 1932), the award recognises the life and vision of this highly respected political and social activist. This annual poetry anthology opens up on political and social attitudes of these times and reflects the complex, nuanced and subtlety of South African life in poetry.

'We need to face up the challenges in terms of the literary translations process and quality. To unite in our diversity we need to listen, and this is where the skills of our translators ought to shine, allowing us to absorb and feel what someone in another language is saying. And without a strong focus on this most neglected of skills, so highly prized in other countries across the world, there should be no standing on the sidelines wondering why there is no quality translations taking place." |
