Abstract: "The annual Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Award, now in its fourth year, recognises the life and vision of this highly respected political and social activist. This book anthologises the strongest entries. As Plaatje's works did in his time, these poems reveal the political and social attitudes of our time. Between these covers are laments and ululations, powerful and resonant. In blank verse and free verse, rhymed lines and prose poems, these voices address. The poets have offered their wise eyes and quirky humour, their sensibilities and observations to make of their experiences art that is passionate, assiduous, alert en keenly sensitive" -- Back cover.
