John Hendrickse’s first collection of poetry. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he moved to London in his twenties. John Hendrickse is of Khoi Khoi extraction, more accurately the Qhoi Qhoi. History bears witness to a people who have been pushed into oblivion and whose existence suffers toleration in the myths and legends of South Africa. Their existence defiantly confronts historians and oppressors alike with brilliant paintings on the changeless rocks of South Africa.
“…..after centuries of obscurity, his words are like the poisoned arrows that kill the lies of history” - Lauretta Ncgobo
