Yellow Shade

by Dimakatso Sedite

Overview

Yellow Shade evokes the stark textures of township and rural community life: the beauty and passion, the cruelty and humour, the noise, music and stillness. Sedite s poems are constructed from unpredictable images a rain-sniffing wind , the knuckles of chairs , a cupboard wailing like a dog left alone in a garage in a gritty language entirely her own.
