These poems have been taken from his highly acclaimed debut collection Song Trials (Poetry Gecko 2000). Mxolisi Nyezwa shifts South African lyrical poetry into powerful and strange landscapes.
These are associative poems which move rapidly through multiple dimensions. They encompass the spiritual, the political and bleakness of the everyday with the fluency of language and a compelling “deftness of image”.
