An Anthology of Growth, Creativity and Mind-Space. n Bundel oor
Groei, Kreatiwiteit en Kopruimte.
An Anthology of Verse, containing verse in the Authors mother tongue,
Afrikaans, and English. These poems are all written in different styles:
depicting, in dialogues, monologues, Shakespearean, film-inspired,
dream-inspired, dubious, philosophical, impressionistic, and finally
(thought youd never get here!) deeply personal.
Intended to accompany the Authors Honors Art Exhibition, themed:
SPACEin this case, Mind Space. what transpires in our minds, that we
cannot express through words? . . . and silently keep it in our own Mind
Space . . . sometimes wrongly. Graze deeply, criticize, but know, this is
not one perfect specimen, it is snapshots of the same raw Pot, caught in
the process of being formed.
Об авторе
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.
