Every land has its hero. Ours is an outlaw, rebel and thief - Robin Hood. Each era gives him its identity. The illustrator Clifford Harper and the poet John Gallas give us a new version of Robin - hunter and hunted - the ballad verse closely echoing the drawings. Agraphia is Harper's own publishing imprint, and as you'd expect, the books are exquisitely designed, illustrated and printed.

Eybers se verse was jare laas in druk. Dié keuse, uitgesoek deur Ena Jansen, goeie vriendin van haar, wys op Eybers se veelsydigheid as digter. Die bloemlesing behels o.m. die bekende "Maria", "Busrit in die aand", verse oor haar kinders, die emigrasie na Nederland, tot haar latere, aangrypende gedigte oor ouer word. Goeie poësie is tydloos, en dit blyk duidelik met dié uitgawe van Eybers se bekendste werk. 

Die digter ondersoek die slopingsproses wat op sowel fisiese as emosionele vlak voltrek word. Dit affekteer onder andere huise en tuine maar ook menslike verhoudings en die kort bestek van die mens se lewe. Die tou is hier 'n betekenisvolle simbool wat hede en verlede verbind. Teenoor aftakeling en afslyting staan die herstel van die gees in menslike verhoudings, groei, die behoud van herinnering en beweging deur ruimtes en ervaring om nuwe moontlikhede oop te maak.

Bernard Odendaal se tweede digbundel ontgin temas soos die funksie en aard van digterskap; die drang om die onuitspreekbare te wil verwoord; die voortbestaan van Afrikaans; die sterflikheid van die mens en die natuur. Die digter dink terug aan 'n verlore jeugwêreld en vriende, kinders wat in diaspora is, en ’n nageslag wat elders en anderstalig gaan grootword. Dis ’n bundel met eietydse gedigte waarin ’n soepel taalspel gespeel word, maar wat ook hoogs toeganklike verskuns bevat.

Here, for the first time, is a fully scrutinized text of Eliot's poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliot's youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time.

The first volume respects Eliot's decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication.

The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets.

Hennie Aucamp het in 'n huldeblyk na Toerien se dood opgemerk dat Om te onthou beslis meer aandag verdien as wat dit by verskyning gaande gemaak het: "[Barend was] 'n man vir alle seisoene, veral vir die herfs en die winter. Maar weerkerende motiewe is daar tog: die natuur, die liefde, die kunste. En hierin is hy, ondanks sy ironie en satires, 'n aartsromantikus."

Drie hopies grond van drie grafte en die drie mense aan wie die grafte behoort: Vytjie, Basjan en Gulu. Elkeen moet vertel hoe hy of sy aan sy dood gekom het. Trien is die sameroeper van hierdie byeenkoms na die dood. Sy behartig die post mortem. Hoe het dit gebeur dat haar man, haar huiswerker en plaaswerker dood is? In hierdie drama deur Pieter Fourie moet Basjan, Vytjie en Gulu aan Trien vertel en demonstreer wat gelei het tot hul dood. Dit word duidelik dat Trien se pienk pilletjies haar blind gemaak het vir die dinge wat rondom haar gebeur ...

In hierdie debuutbundel word ’n liefdesgeskiedenis vertel soos dit deur verskillende stadiums beleef word deur die spreker. Aan die begin soek die spreker na ’n manier om sy liefde duidelik genoeg uit te druk; dan volg die ontnugtering en die belewenis van die geliefde as ’n lee dop, en uiteindelik volg die misnoegde ervaring van mislukking. Die hele bundel staan in gesprek met Oscar Wilde se roman, The picture of Dorian Gray, waarin die jong Dorian Gray wens dat sy afbeelding in ’n skildery sal verouder, terwyl hyself jonk bly.Die gedigte verwoord in hierdie bundel die aftakelingsproses en boots die briefvorm van die Wilde-roman implisiet na. Soos in die roman word die grense tussen werklikheid, verbeelding en kuns in die gedigte dikwels oorskry. Die atmosfeer van verval van die Wilde-roman word ook in talle van die gedigte opgeroep.

Die gedigte in Swatland speel grootliks in Malmesbury af en word aangebied in die taal wat deur die bruin gemeenskap hier gepraat word: Kaaps wat met die kenmerkende bry-klank van die streek weerklink.

Op vernuwende wyse word dié bry skriftelik uitgebeeld. ’n Rugbyderby, ’n krieketwedstryd, en ’n besoek aan die openbare swembad word vars verbeeld deur die skep van opvallende kontraste.

Maatskaplike kwessies word met galgehumor belig en diep persoonlike sake sonder sentimentaliteit aangeroer.

Chrisalis is die indrukwekkende debuut van ‘n digter wie se taal- en versvernuf die leser meevoer en meermale ook ontroer. In hierdie fyn afgewerkte gedigte word die grens tussen teks en werklikheid telkens getoets.

Dit is verse waarin realiteit self op sy kop gekeer word en waar die alledaagse vreemd gemaak word. Soos’n skoenlapper uit sy papie breek, so kom die digter self te voorskyn uit die chrisalis van sy vers.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is anything but Shakespeare. Unless you’ve never read Shakespeare.

//Kabbo op die ysterspoor bied ’n voorstelling van die titelkarakter, 'n sjamaan, se verplasing na die groot god Eloib se werklikhei. Die eenman-drama handel oor die spirituele wysheid van die Boesmans en herinner die gehoor daaraan dat voorstellings van diaspora in die Afrikaanse drama nie slegs Afrikaners en hul bande met ’n tuisland, gasheerland en postkolonie betrek nie.
