Everything Is A Deathly Flower
In one of the most anticipated debut
collections of recent years, Maneo Mohale reckons boldly with the
experience of – and the reconstruction of a life after – a sexual
assault.
Mohale’s unapologetic and disarming voice carries through
a budding and blooming garden of poetics, rooted in a contemporary
southern African tradition, but springing forth in queer and radical new
directions. Indeed, this is a work encompassing the full, often
contradictory, and seldom complete process of healing: where relations
must be chosen as well as made; where time becomes non-linear and
language insufficient; where nothing is what it seems, yet everything is
what it is.
In 2001 Everything Is A Deathly Flower was awarded the The Luschei Prize for African Poetry.
