About the Author

Region, Country: Tip of Southern Africa, ZAF

Favorite Poets: Too many to narrow down, but briefly :, AUDEN, T.S. ELIOT, DICKENSON, RILKE, THOREAU, RUMI ... the list is endless. Am inspired by many, especially those that live lives of "quiet desperation, and go to the grave with a song still in them" (THoreau)

Nope!

Indi - How you dissect my work apart - love it! This one is about overcoming some spiritual darkness, nothing literal at all. It's about coming out of a place of darkness in the psyche/soul! Thanks for challenging me each and every time! Boni
