Groundwork

In Rustum Kozain's new collection, Groundwork, this leading South African poet raises his own bar way above ordinary expectations. Kozain has intentionally retained connections with his early work while simultaneously introducing a group of poems that indicate the promise of work still to come. His voice has strengthened and has a new confidence making the poems (paradoxically) lighter without losing their characteristic trademark seriousness.
