Description
A dried shoot is unable to drink where glass grows, and only silence swims in spaces the tongue leaves. Kobus Moolman's poems speak in the silences of our interactions with others and with ourselves. His close observations of what is immediate - and often imperfect - inspire poems that show us how to look at the everyday with new eyes. Time like Stone also contains excerpts from Moolman's Karoo journal, written during his stay in Nieu-Bethesda after winning the Helen Martins Fellowship, which trace the poet's struggle for language over silence. Moolman lives in Pietermaritzburg. He actively promotes and helps develop the work of aspirant writers and artists, and edits the poetry journal Fidelities.
