Description

This book is a further collection of poems written by Arthur Dunkley. In this volume the emphasis is on the genre of ‘Veldsinger’ poetry, originally introduced in his previously published poetry collection called ‘Seventy’. Poetic eulogy of the landscape of any nation occurs all over the world, in both writing and song. In this case the landscape and life of southern Africa is the subject material, the word ‘veld’ being widely used for much of the wild, open habitat of many of the countries in this region. There are plenty of ‘other’ kinds of poems in the collection to give the anthology a breadth of subject material and interest.
