Poetry lovers – those who enjoy reading it and those who are
compelled to write it – will find in this collection a truly
splendid experience of the country’s soul. So much of the ineffable
human spirit and experience that usually remains untold is gently
lifted above the surface with care, attention and honesty. This is
the fifth annual Sol Plaatje European union poetry anthology, and
is a compendium of the poems long-listed for the 2015 Sol Plaatje
EU poetry award. Every year South African poets, young and old,
debut or previously published, are invited to submit up to three of
their poetic efforts to the award, in any of the country’s 11
official languages. The anthology seeks to publish voices in as
many difference languages as possible, and be one of the spaces in
which these tongues are given equal space and respect. The
anthology is a truly democratic as well as creative effort, in
keeping with the spirit of the legendary intellectual giant, Sol
Plaatje, the activist, linguist, translator, novelist, journalist
and leader.
