Walking, Falling

Walking, Falling is Kelwyn Soleis seventh collection of poetry. It extends and deepens themes that emerged in his earlier books: love and human relationships; the exposing of false and clichEd perspectives in our socio-political life; our relationship as South Africans to land and landscape.

Rustum Kozain has written about his work: Whether the theme is the end of a relationship or the murder of immigrants, there is the calm look of analysis, a voice, like a conscience, that threatens to disturb the reader’s complacency, but a voice simultaneously gentle with empathy and sincerity.
