As part of Poetry London’s landmark 100th issue, Canadian-Scottish poet Tarn McArthur has written a glowing review of Musawenkosi Khanyile’s All the Places and C.J. Driver’s Still Further: New Poems 2000–2020.
McArthur writes that “Musawenkosi Khanyile casts a dappled light on his country’s rural, township, and urban livelihoods to unveil how a society’s fragmented state is mirrored in the psyches of those who suffer its social and economic stratification.”
About Driver: “As with many whose personal histories have been scarred by civil strife and sacrifice, a part of what sustains the self within these poems is the solidarity found amongst friends and family, along with a sustained devotion to those who have passed away.”
