Description
Solomons creates work of contemplation, critique and regret and does more than a little truthtelling in these poems, meditations and photographs. In and through different traditions of culture and poetry, he summons the spirit of the poet as thoughtful observer and social voice. As a practicing Moslem, he makes meaning out of his family history and contemplations of natural scenes at the same time speaking about memory, loss, and the way observation itself splinters the whole into its parts. While intrinsically South African, it is also a collection that spans continents and different eras. Accompanied by well chosen photographs that have their own power, the book satisfies on many levels.
