In Life As In Death: An Epic Love Poem

NEWS

Penned by a world poet, In Life as In Death is a rich profusion of a book on love in South Africa, its early romance, its later dark surprises. This true story is told through an easy-to-read epic narrative poem that sings on the page, followed by cycles or ‘flights’ of interlinking poetry, a story of how history intervenes in love’s progression. Set against a political backdrop of our time, it reveals love’s strength, frailties, passions, of a pregnancy unable to be carried, a story of a couple’s brief engagement dissolved by a history beyond their control…

"Unzip our cocoons under heated moonglow - and with no more than a whispered: "Yes !" give yourself up to this transparent nature - as I, transparent as in this naked night. (Stanza 10, Canto 1)

I follow your eyes, the entrancing you - reveals that my love will travel distance - has come to you, left another place: for love’s anchor digs deeper into love. (Stanza 32, Canto 2)

The poet, however, friend of emotions – is able to listen to the heart of another, to not only hear the beat, but interrogate - the scope of pulse to every little flutter." (Stanza 68, Canto 3)
