Karen Press

Karen Press (born 1956) is a South African poet. Antjie Krog has described her poetry as "presenting a haunting museum constructed in [...] delicate tone and vivid poetic intelligence." Quotes Words are such thin shavings of the fractal fruit,tiny scraping of the skin that holdsthese joyously determined swirls of historyinside their juicy turbulence.Talking itself westward after the day's feast,each little word with its meaning strapped to its backfalls down the swell of tomorrowlike a hiker with hopeful new shoes.
