The Shaping: of the Vessel by the Potter's Hand Mariya Louw

An Anthology of Growth, Creativity and Mind-Space. 'n Bundel oor Groei, Kreatiwiteit en Kopruimte. An Anthology of Verse, containing verse in the Author's mother tongue, Afrikaans, and English. These poems are all written in different styles: depicting, in dialogues, monologues, Shakespearean, film-inspired, dream-inspired, dubious, philosophical, impressionistic, and finally (thought you'd never get here) deeply personal. Intended to accompany the Author's Honors Art Exhibition, themed: SPACE-in this case, Mind Space. what transpires in our minds, that we cannot express through words? . . . and silently keep it in our own Mind Space . . . sometimes wrongly. Graze deeply, criticize, but know, this is not one perfect specimen, it is snapshots of the same raw Pot, caught in the process of being formed.
