- Summary:
- Twelve + one contains interviews with 13 poets from Johannesburg who span a wide range with respect to age, gender, colour and class. Mike Alfred, who has contributed to journals for many years and has published several individual collections of his own work, provides an intimate opportunity for poets to tell both their biographical stories, describe their artistic aims and processes as well compiling a selection of poems which best represent their themes and styles. The result grants the reader a fascinating insight into a key cross-section of South African poets.
