Lady Anne (1989) is one of Krog’s most acclaimed poetry collections. In an attempt to make sense of her own existence, Krog compares her own life in the midst of a world of racial injustice to that of the life and times of Lady Anne Barnard, of Scottish descent, during her stay in the Cape Colony in the late eighteenth century. Gradually the two voices intertwine and merge, highlighting the complexity of marriage but ultimately also that of a colonial legacy – still relevant 28 years later.

A further volume of poems and songs about the darker and lighter sides of life, with illustrations by the author.

“’n Voelboek”, noem die bekroonde digter Johan Marais sy vyfde bundel. By die natuurliefhebber roep dit dadelik assosiasies van ’n naslaanboek op. En dan, op die opdragblad, asof die digter sy leser doelbewus met hierdie assosiasie wou mislei, waarsku hy in Walt Whitman se woorde: "You must not […] be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers […]." Die gedigte bly egter gemoeid met die wetenskaplike benadering tot voels, en hierdie spel van teenstelling en gelykmaking word deur die hele bundel voortgesit.

This Is How You Disappear is Jeremy Reed's most autobiographical book to date, and one in which he celebrates the dead and missing friends who were the formative and enduring influences on his life as a poet. Using the elegy to imaginatively recreate the often extraordinary individual characteristics of his subjects, Reed's personal book of the dead is one that burns with his customary dynamic for dazzling imagery, glows with compassion for the suffering, and sparkles with a visual retrieval of detail so acute it hurts. With the title taken from the first line of a Scott Walker song, 'Rawhide', This Is How You Disappear is elegiac poetry at its most brilliant.

’n Splinternuwe digbundel deur ’n gerekende en opspraakwekkende Kaapse digter. In Alles het niet kom wod dig Nathan Trantraal oor die onderwerpe wat hy in Chokers en suvivors met sy kenmerkende energie en emosie belig het. In sy tweede bundel dig Trantraal oor Afrikaans, oor klas, ras, en die politiek, maar neem nou ook seksualiteit, en die religieuse en stedelike milieu waarin hy grootgeword het, in oenskou. ’n Outobiografiese en kontroversiele bundel deur die wenner van die Ingrid Jonkerpys.

Rolf LAnge was Schwabisch, born in southern Germany on 27th April 1939. He trained as a master in Patisserie in Germany and moved to Oxford, England as a young man to work, married and had two daughters, Karin and Juliette. He was an adventurer, raconteur, teller of rude jokes, iconoclast, humanist, student of European Studies, accordionist, yachtmaster and pilot, a lover and a warrior. Over forty-five years he divorced, remarried, taught English in Greece, qualified for university entrance through Open University European Studies, and made wine on the Rhine. He explored America and shot the rapids of the Rio Grande in New Mexico, sailed the Mediterranean and lived on his catamaran for ten years with his wife Carol. They sailed to Spain and bought a house in the Alpujarra mountains of Andalucia. He loved trees and planted pomegranate, almond, fig, palm, orange, grapefruit, lemon, quince, lime, avocado, apple, cherry, pear, nispero, chirimoya and olive. Rolf had a boundless zest for life. His passion was flying and he was in process of renewing his pilot's licence when he died suddenly in his beloved village of Darrical, Andalucia, on 1st March 2016. He always said that when his time came, he would just fly his plane into a mountain. He found his mountain that night. Rolf was deeply moved by the plight of homeless people. Proceeds from sales of this book will go to the Oxford Community Soup Kitchen run by Ma Smith in Oxford, England, where he played his accordion for the people Christmas 2015.

Nursing staff throughout the world have endured an unprecedented increase in distress, anxiety and depression. Physical and mental health have come under attack from anxiety, depression, elevated blood pressure and increased stress hormone production. More than ever, the importance and urgency of initiatives which promote nurses' and midwives' wellbeing should be emphasised. Pocket Poetry: Poems for Nurses and Midwives is a companion of poems intended to provide encouragement and consolation to those on the frontline of our care sector. The poems themselves explore the meaning of nursing, midwifery and compassion in order to promote new nurses' and midwives' self-care and wellbeing. The poems in this selection demonstrate the empathy and benevolence crucial to the profession, and include works on the relationship between nurse and patient, as well as the meaning and fulfilment of nursing for those who have chosen that career.

In this light-hearted collection of poetry, Colin McAllister muses on subjects as wide-ranging as his cruise around South America, his enthusiasm for golf, American politics and his first tentative steps into the world of computer technology.Drawing on the dialect of his native Scotland and experimenting with limerick and sonnet forms, But Does It Scan? is a vibrant insight into the poet's thoughts on his experiences of modern-day life.

Bibi Slippers se debuutbundel vier die mens en kultuur as fotostaatmasjien en die gedig as foutiewe fotostaat. Die digter neem die rol van monnik in die middeleeuse skriptorium aan, maar die oorskrywer is gelyktydig ook ’n boorling van ’n digitale wereld waar perfekte kopiee met die druk van ’n knoppie geskep kan word, en emoji’s, youTUBE-videos en Instagram-foto’s werklikheid word. Fotostaatmasjien dokumenteer die skeppingsproses in afdrukke, en maak so oorspronklike fotostate.

Poetry is by its nature very personal and often reveals more about the poet than any other medium can. Unlike prose, it is not so closely bound to the rules of language and grammar and can take wings and fly where the muse takes it. My poetry is largely of an autobiographical nature which includes events, people, places in fact anything that has impinged upon my life. My short stories on the other hand can be read as straightforward fiction although mostly they have a basis in fact. As for any wise sayings - some are mine - others come from my father and other wise people. Jokes, however, are few and depend largely on your sense of humour.

This little collection of poems, stories, outbursts and musings is put forward as an homage to Jerome K. Jerome. His book, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, published in 1886, is like mine, a series of humorous articles on various subjects.

This book is a further collection of poems written by Arthur Dunkley. In this volume the emphasis is on the genre of 'Veldsinger' poetry, originally introduced in his previously published poetry collection called 'Seventy'. Poetic eulogy of the landscape of any nation occurs all over the world, in both writing and song. In this case the landscape and life of southern Africa is the subject material, the word 'veld' being widely used for much of the wild, open habitat of many of the countries in this region. There are plenty of 'other' kinds of poems in the collection to give the anthology a breadth of subject material and interest.
