Sobre IBD

There Was No-one includes poems of the joy and hardship of a childhood lived in the embrace of nature and Xhosa tradition; poems of political struggle and its dangers; and vivid portraits of people battling to survive in post-apartheid Eastern Cape townships. Many of the later poems lament the loss of traditional values and the erosion of political ideals.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Mzi Mahola
