Dye Hard Press in the Cape

 


A Facebook post by René Bohnen: I have come to love all couriers. Today's delight from Dye Hard Press. I had to start with the darling tiny chapbook. Gems in there! I still maintain that Gary Cummiskey comes up with some of the most brilliant titles: Outside the cave (conjuring up all sorts of intertextual images) and Thunder on the highway. I still have all the A4 size collections from those long-ago Braamfontein days too: I think the first one I got was When Apollinaire died. [a chapbook published by Gus Ferguson's Firfield Press]. I attended an Alan Finlay launch a few years ago somewhere in Queen Street, I think (it was pushing from the riverbank) Now happily reading these poets again! Also looking forward to the novel set in 1990's Yeoville.

Things heating up with Outside the cave and The cactus of a bright sky


Just had an email from Kobus Moolman, who selected the poems for Outside the cave and wrote the introduction - and he loves it! And raved about Alan Finlay's The cactus of a bright sky too!

Both these titles are available directly from the publisher. Outside the cave is R280 (including courier to your door) and The cactus of a bright sky is R140 (including courier). Or why not buy both, for R320 (including courier)? Email dyehardress@iafrica.com.
Overseas orders would also have to be couriered. The South African Post Office is dysfunctional and can't deliver even local mail. Some books mailed to the UK, Europe and India last year October have not yet arrived. Please email me for details.
