Award -winning poet and playwright , Kobus
Moolman recently launched his new collection of poetry , Left Over (Dye Hard Press) at
Ike's Books & Collectables.
Moolman, who teaches Creative Writing at the
University of KwaZulu-Natal, has just returned from a three-month writer's
residency at Rhodes University.
Representing his sixth collection of poems,
Left Over describes the inner world
of a man dealing with what the poet calls “being in the flesh, being a body in
the world.”
Sparse but dense, the prose-like poetry is
arresting in its intensity and power. as Cape Town critic Kelwyn Sole comments:
" Kobus Moolman's elliptical, foreshortened poetry opens up a world of
exploration and heightened experience from which the reader eventually emerges,
chastened but delighted. These are poems of acumen, depth and extraordinary
pressure."
