POETRY FOR PLEASURE: a reading and discussion with Robert Berold
24 April, 1.00 - 2.00 pm
Wits Writing Centre, Wartenweiler Library
The 90s and 00s were a creatively fertile time for South African poetry. Daring young poets were writing in daring new forms not seen before in our literature, urgently trying to articulate the hopes and doubts and confusions brought about by the new democracy.
Robert Berold, editor of New Coin in the 90s and later the editor of Deep South books will lead a reading and discussion on some of the amazing poems of those years.
The reading will be followed by an open workshop at 2.00 pm.
Refreshments will be provided.
The Poetry for Pleasure meetings are a collaboration between the WWC and the Creative Writing Department.
