About This Book

Die bundel bied ’n reeks losse, hoofsaaklik liriese gedigte wat liefde vir die moederland en kommer oor volksgestelde toestande verwoord. Dit wissel tussen ryk botaniese en landskapbeskrywings en ernstige besinning oor onreg, verdeeldheid en verlies, met konkrete tonele van plaaslewe en die uitverkoop van erfenis. Die digter spoor aan tot eenheid, hoop en moed, en bepleit heropbou van gemeenskaplike krag; historiese herinnering en hedendaagse kritiek word langs mekaar geplaas. Stylisties beweeg die werk tussen invokasie en loflied aan die land, en elegieë wat morele refleksie en roepings tot daadvoering bevat.
