Featuring poetry, creative writing, cultural comment and miscellanea by Frank Andrew Meintjies
I have been sharing information about my recently released poetry book, A Place to Night In, released by Botsotso Publishing.
The reading of the poems generally sparks discussion on issues of belonging and connectedness – pertinent matters in South Africa.
A Place to Night In has been presented online, on Off The Wall and Red Wheelbarrow Poetry platforms.
The pictures below depict instances where the book was presented:
