Description
This collection of poetry by South African writer Butho Khumalo explores many universal aspects of love, life, birth, death, religion and disillusionment, as well as some more specific issues, such as prejudice and inequity, relating to his own life experiences. The poems have an intensity, yet a lightness of touch, the lines flowing with effortless and pleasing rhythm. One poem gives much to think about in its own right, although the temptation to turn the page to read the next one is overpowering. The imagery and feeling seem to draw the reader into a deep sympathy and identification with the words of each poem.
