Voices of this land is a new and
expanded edition
of what has become one of the standard collections of South African poetry written in English. It includes
poems ranging from the colonial period right up to the present and encourages
readers to revel in the power, richness and diversity of South African poetry.
Poetry has to do something more than reproduce power
struggles and their justifications in arbitrarily
shortened lines, using obscure language, garnished with imagery. Rather, poetry
should use language to reproduce and deepen the senses and emotions as well as the consciousness
and ideas that are an inseparable part of experience.
Anthony Chennels
