Poetry Potion publishes its first print quarterly themed - On Being Human.
On Being Human is about what links me to you, us to them and indeed, what divides us. It's about the existential angst we experience when faced with our inadequacies, with our uglier selves and find ourselves unable to live up to the idea of the higher self.
The poems explore the hope, beauty and the simplicity of being. They were chosen for their inspired interpretations of the theme as well as their captivating use of form, language, imagery and passion. This edition features poetry from poets from all over the African continent and interviews with some of South Africa’s inspiring voices.
On Being Human features poems from profiles Vangile Gantsho who’s been making her way into the poetry scene since the mid 2000s.
Zamantungwa has a conversation with Vangile about the writing process and sharing poetry on stage.
