5: Poetry

edited by Allan Kolski Horwitz

Poems by Kobus Moolman, Mphutlane wa Bofelo, Clinton du Plessis, Gillian Schutte and Lionel Murcott – another ‘unholy’ assemblage of voices and hands and thoughts. All five have since matured and continued to publish but these relatively early examples of their work certainly show how well formed they were and that subsequent work has been a relatively natural progression.
