The hemispheric pull between Europe and Africa and the restlessness
that results from inhabiting both worlds is reflected in A Lioness
at my Heels. Robin Winckel-Mellish reconciles the muted tones of
her Europe with the riotous colour of Africa. The immediacy,
vividness and dustiness of the harsh African sun is carefully
offset by the softer quality of the Netherlands. All poems are
mediated and considered in the light of a spiritual home. Robin
Winckel-Mellish lives in the Netherlands and runs a poetry critique
group in Amsterdam. Her work has been published in many
international literary journals. Her first collection, A Lioness at
my Heels, explores living in Europe and being South African.
In this second collection Messages from the Bees Robin
Winckel-Mellish shows the same qualities as A Lioness at my Heels,
but this time runs deeper, darker and stronger. She delves not only
into the riotous colours of southern Africa: birds, bees and
caracals, but also climate change, while different kinds of love
are pinpointed. Her poems of loss and grief are candid and even
sensuous, showing the beauty of simplicity in bleakness. Both
delicate and reflective these poems honour the wild while retaining
a deeply-felt sense of connection with all that is relevant to our
lives.
