MARIETJIE LOUW (B.Ed. CPu T.), has been a writer since she can remember. when she was five, her mother helped her to write a letter she dictated, which was published in the Huisgenoot of 1991(?). At seven, she wrote a short poem about Tyd (“Time”) that was published in her school’s own paper, Die Horison. Countless more little notebooks had been filled by her during her primary school years, in Grade 8 she entered a poetry Competition, and published Thoughts. During high school, many a teenager’s Sturm und Drang time in life, she poured her heart out via her pen . . . Even the trials she has faced in life up and until now, have mostly ended hopeful, for her faith that carries her through, and helps her make sense of the trials and tribulations of life.
