| Publisher Description: In his moving debut collection, Musawenkosi Khanyile speaks for the heartache, perseverance and untriumphant triumph of township life. Through snapshots and memories of family and community, centred around the boy- and young manhood of a single narrator, All The Places is a rare and compelling poetic Bildungsroman, with the ambition and scope of a novel, paired with (and pared down to) minimalist and clear-eyed verse. Concurrently original and quintessentially South African, these poems mark Khanyile out as a skilled stylist and storyteller - a frank and important new voice in South African literature. |
