Don Maclennan (1929-2009) was one of South Africa’s best-loved
teachers and the pre-eminent poet of his generation. Though he
matured as a poet only in his fifties, he produced some twenty
volumes before his death. None of our poets is more penetrating
without cynicism, more beautifully thoughtful, or more readable.
The Collected Poems gathers some 600 poems, including all the
published volumes as well as numerous poems printed in periodical
magazines and hitherto unavailable in one book. It shows clearly
the poet’s development towards a style of increasing spareness and
lucidity of image. No poetry in the nation reveals greater passion
for the mere fact of being alive or greater clarity of vision; few
can match its uncompromising honesty and courage in the face of
physical collapse and impending death.
