A Flower For The Dashboard: Poems From Aerial 1998-2019

This anthology of poems and its companion anthology of stories. The last time I lived anywhere real collect writing from a weekly creative writing course held in Grahamstown/Makhanda since 1998. The two anthologies bring together more than eighty writers from 21 years of the annual course publication Aerial.

The poems in A flower for the dashboard are reflective, wistful, angry, conversational, celebratory. Written by people of all ages and cultural contexts, they describe family, love, place, memory, making words, reading, self-confrontation and discovery.
