The Girl in the Stone: The Monte Arabi Collection

Viac o knihe

The book talks about a trip, in all its dimensions. It is a book that talks about wholeness, about Humanity and its interaction with themselves, with others and with Nature. It becomes clear that Beukes is trying to explore every trace of human experience. Joy and loss, hope and despair, individuality and completeness. Everything fits and has a place in this book, as it entirely mirrors the innermost core of vital experience. So, little by little, the reader realizes that the poems begin to be narrated from an "I", but then they go to a universal "we" and from this to a cosmic conscience. The vision widens and it comprehends the entire vital transit.
