A very special, collectable book of poetry, comprising 35 San poems and 8 full-colour drawings and watercolours. Designed by Jrgen Fomm.
This collection consists of narratives by five different San (Bushmen) ‘word artists’ recorded in the la A beautiful and tragic view of a pre-Cartesian culture. Numinous and elusive, these poems are mysterious, mystical, and reflect a vanished world that fills the reader with an elusive nostalgia close to grief. An important publication. --Gus Ferguson, author, Arse Poetica
