• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

These poems reflect a journey from a past delineated by racism, trauma and violence towards a present life of peace and intense natural beauty. Permeated with nostalgia and loss; songs of an immigrant community alienated in their own land, but pierced with fierce hope, faith in redemption, and a determination that we should all belong.

Autorenporträt

After a classical training in Italy Domenica developed a career as a sculptor. She uses mainly wood and bronze to explore her understanding of humans, animals and trees as archetypal figures. Olivia was born in Cape Town during South Africa's apartheid years and raised in a Coloured community in Durban. Her family were the descendants of 'misegenous' relationships, rejected by their own kin and segregated by government decree. As a young teenager, Olivia was scouted by a model agency and worked in Johannesburg, Cape Town and abroad. Later she married a Scot, and moved to the Scottish Highlands. This is her first collection, a collaboration with London artist Domenica de Ferranti whose drawings respond to the poems.
