Ruan Coetzer reviews Ek’t Act by Klara du Plessis for Tydskrif vir Letterkund letterkunde.africa/en/article/v...

Lethokuhle Msimang will be the featured poet at the Red Wheelbarrow Poetry Collective on Zoom later today. She is a South African poet, writer, and interdisciplinary artist from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. She is the author of the novella 'The Frightened' (Karavan Press).

An exciting part of the publishing journey is receiving book proofs of the book you are working on – it all, finally, becomes real. KEEP CALM & BOLLOCKS ON is almost at the final printing stage. The book looks as delicious outside and inside as it has done throughout the design process.

Glitter, a banana, a toddler and a blender...what could go wrong? We are delighted to share the cover of KEEP CALM & BOLLOCKS ON by Liezl Stylo. A sharp, funny, deeply honest exploration of modern womanhood, motherhood, burnout, rage, gut health, capitalism, intimacy & the quiet rebellion of rest.

Finuala Dowling and Beatrice Willoughby reading their delightful, funny and insightful poetry at the Red Wheelbarrow Collective, Tokai Library this evening 💚
