Abstract

produced volumes of selected poems. My Mother's Laughter: Selected Poems edited by Ivan Vladislavic and Robert Berold is a posthumous collection of Chris van Wyk's poems, drawing on his 1979 collection It Is Time to Go Home as well as poems written in the subsequent years. There have been several posthumous collections of iconic Afrikaans poet Ingrid Jonker with the latest, Waterfall of Moss and Sun, translated and edited by her daughter Simone Jonker. Malibongwe: Poems from the Struggle by ANC Women edited by Sono Molefe (a pseudonym for Lindiwe Mabuza) was first published in Europe in 1981 but banned in South Africa and long out of print. It has now been reissued with a new preface by Uhuru Phalafala and an introduction by Makhosazana Xaba, giving a broader audience access to the poems and providing insight into writing by women activists. The Only Magic We Know: Selected Modjaji Poems 2004 to 2020 edited by Marike Beyers brings together selected poems from each of the poets published by Modjaji Press over the past 16 years. An impressive collection in its own right, it also serves as a testimony to Modjaji's role in bringing women's voices to the fore. The book contains close to 40 poets, with several poems by each author, from Ingrid Anderson and Margaret Clough to Makhosazana Xaba and Fiona Zerbst.Junkets Publisher received the Special Award for Innovation in Theatre at the 55th Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards.
