Writing

2015 was my year for outing myself as a writer. My poetry book Signs For An Exhibition, which explores the long illness of my mother and memories of my South African childhood, was published by Modjaji Books (Cape Town). Please contact my e-mail address to purchase a copy. 

In 2022 Philip Miller composed a song cycle based on my poems for the concert ‘Flat on your back in the dry wintry grass’ in Milwaukee, USA. The panel discussion can be viewed here.

I am currently polishing a new book of poems about life in my village, under the working title ‘DOG DAYS/DARK NIGHTS’. I hope to publish it in late 2023/early 2024.
