When thinking about a name for this anthology, it was hard to find a single phrase that would come close to assembling all that the writers collected here are - and what they represent as most of them go beyond definition. We Are is simple, precise and will prompt you to ask who, exactly are we? Apart from their role as writers, the artists collected here tell their stories in various ways and represent diverse societal courses: as gender and social activists, journalists, filmmakers, actors, playwrights and musicians, among others. Therefore, we are all that we can be, without limits. As poets, we are reflections of the words we write, therefore moulding memories and tomorrows that never fail to turn up. We Are is an attempt to let you into issues prominent in the environment and minds of some of South Africa's most talented and experienced artists. They are young, but experienced, because of their urge for poetic expression. So they publish their work, perform locally and internationally, createworkshops around literature, engage with the community, and record their performances with background music, among other exciting efforts.
