"Reckless" is a colorful representation of emotion fostered from
the impactful moments life has to offer. Providing a fresh
perspective as only a young poet can, Hari shares her reflections
through a much-beloved medium. Hari brings vibrant energy to her
work, drawing from classical influences as well as contemporary
ideas. This collection is a strong representation of life written
in a thoughtfully artistic way, with interpretations stemming from
the complexity and simplicity of the human experience. Readers are
able to easily connect with Hari's powerful poetry, allowing for a
mutually developed understanding between both the reader and the
poet. With a fresh take on writing poetry, Hari has successfully
demonstrated her creative talent in her poetry collection.
It is for its fynbos – fine-leaved, shrub-like vegetation – that
the southwestern and southern Cape has been named one of the
world’s six plant kingdoms: The Cape floral kingdom. At less than
90 000 square kilometres, it is the smallest floral kingdom on
earth. Yet it is home to 8 600 plant species, some 5 000 of which
occur nowhere else in the world. Fynbos is a mixture of four plant
types: Protea shrubs, heath-like ericas, reed-like restios and
different bubous plants. The Cape floral kingdom contains 69 of the
world’s 112 proteas, 526 of its 740 ericas and, among bubous
plants, 96 of the world’s 160 gladiolus species. Table Mountain
alone boasts almost 1 500 fynbos species. With Fynbos fairies,
Antjie Krog and Fiona Moodie, both of whom regularly walk on the
slopes of Table Mountain, pay homage to one of the natural wonders
of the world. Inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s A world of flower
fairies, Antjie began the process by writing poems that each
featured a plant and at least one imaginary little being. Fiona
meticulously researched the features of each plant, insect and
little animal depicted in these pages. The fairies and other
imaginary beings in these pages are her own creations, but the
flowers and creatures she copied from nature.
THIS BOOK TAKES THE READER THROUGH THE LIFE AND TRIALS OF A TEENAGE
GIRL TRYING TO MAKE HER WAY THROUGH THE EARLY TEEN YEARS OF HER
LIFE. ANY GIRL GOING THROUGH TRIALS WILL WANT TO READ THIS BOOK, IF
ONLY TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
