The Shaping

Of the Vessel by the Potter's Hand

An Anthology of Growth, Creativity and Mind-Space. n Bundel oor Groei, Kreatiwiteit en Kopruimte. An Anthology of Verse, containing verse in the Authors mother tongue, Afrikaans, and English. These poems are all written in different styles: depicting, in dialogues, monologues, Shakespearean, film-inspired, dream-inspired, dubious, philosophical, impressionistic, and finally (thought youd never get here!) deeply personal. Intended to accompany the Authors Honors Art Exhibition, themed: SPACEin this case, Mind Space. what transpires in our minds, that we cannot express through words? . . . and silently keep it in our own Mind Space . . . sometimes wrongly. Graze deeply, criticize, but know, this is not one perfect specimen, it is snapshots of the same raw Pot, caught in the process of being formed.
