Walking, Falling

Kelwyn Sole

Description

Walking, Falling is Kelwyn Sole�s seventh collection of poetry. It extends and deepens themes that emerged in his earlier books: love and human relationships; the exposing of false and clich�d perspectives in our socio-political life; our relationship as South Africans to land and landscape. Rustum Kozain has written about his work: �Whether the theme is the end of a relationship or the murder of immigrants, there is the calm look of analysis, a voice, like a conscience, that threatens to disturb the reader�s complacency, but a voice simultaneously gentle with empathy and sincerity.�
