Due end of May: Outside the cave: selected poems by Gary Cummiskey

 

'Cummiskey writes devoid of the lyrical ego found in much of South African poetry. Perhaps his progenitor is Beiles, but this collection shows he is a much more consistent poet, and ultimately, I think a better one. I first read his poetry nearly 30 years ago – and have read his many chapbooks since. This powerful and exciting selection of poetry should as much as possible be read in one go. His poems accrue meaning.' - Alan Finlay

Outside the Cave: selected poems by Gary Cummiskey is due out at the end of May 2021. The poems are selected and introduced by Kobus Moolman.
