Under Dark Under Branches

Under dark under branches, Joan Metelerkamp's tenth book, continues the explorations of her recent book-length poems, opening out to five generations of family history and to the wider context of national history. The assured music of the writing carries the textures and tones of dialogues, lyrical passages, fragments of narrative. Five years after leaving South Africa, the poet mourns the torn-out roots of her life - her community, environment and ancestors left behind in a country no longer her home.
