"Stephen Symons’s poetry enters a realm of tenderness, the quiet embrace of nature, and the frailties of the human spirit from which beauty arises. I hold his poetry in the highest regard. He is a masterful image maker and a believer in the power of close looking. This poet is a gem." – David Keplinger, author of Another City and The Long Answer: New and Selected Poems
Fisika, die metafisiese, en selfs wetenskapfiksie word verweef in Nou in infrarooi. Soos die titel suggereer, gaan dit hier oor dit wat sigbaar is versus dit wat nié deur blote sig waarneembaar is nie. Bestaande plekke – sommige naby en ander ver – word taktiel en ewokatief in reisgedigte uitgebeeld. Hiermee saam hang die verkenning van die onsigbare: van identiteit, ’n soeke na waar jy hoort, weemoed en liefde. ’n Debuutbundel wat bekroonde skrywer Tom Dreyer onomwonde as digter vestig.
The poems in ‘predicaments’ explore women’s responses to the constraints and consequences of choices they have made. Their responses are not much changed through the millennia of myth, history and into contemporary times. The poet reflects on significant moments in the lives of women such as Helen of Troy, Delilah and Joan of Arc, and the predicaments they are faced with in a man’s world.
A study edition of Twelfth Night, featuring facing notes, activities, text graded by importance and illustrations.
These poems written over roughly 11 years describe an intense journey through trauma and abuses. The writer found strength while left to deal with the emotional damage alone after being treated like an outcast, when she finally voiced the truth about her abuser. These poems capture a journey to hope breaking open. “Do not hide from your breaks or aches or wounds. Do not let them be drowned in silence. Give them voices, so that you can have a voice too.” Recommended to all seeking meaning in misery, authenticity, courage and soul, in a broken world.
The first authorised biography of eternal legend Elizabeth Taylor. Known for her glamorous beauty, soap-opera personal life and magnetic screen presence, Elizabeth Taylor was the twentieth century's most famous film star. Including unseen photographs and unread private reflections, this authorised biography is a fascinating and complete portrait worthy of the legend and her legacy. Elizabeth Taylor captures this intelligent, empathetic, tenacious, volatile and complex woman as never before, from her rise to massive fame at the age of twelve in National Velvet to becoming the first actor to negotiate a million-dollar salary for a film, from her eight marriages and enduring love affair with Richard Burton to her lifelong battle with addiction and her courageous efforts as an AIDS activist. Using Elizabeth's unpublished letters, diary entries and off-the-record interview transcripts as well as interviews with 250 of her closest friends and family, Kate Andersen Brower tells the full, unvarnished story of the classic Hollywood star who continues to captivate audiences the world over.
