well this combination of written word and spoken word is stunning, Adri! It is a sad poem but shows how poets are many times misunderstood and under-appreciated. this is such an emotionally intact piece...quite worthy of the poet, I'm sure.

Hello Adri,
Though i am not aqwainted with the poetess Ingrid Jonker, the tender yet sad rapport within the body of this most enjoyable poem, did make me feel for her allot! How many people would there be like her, not being understood by anyone? I walked the earth for a while of my life like this, but today, my story has a true listener!
The way this artist walked to her life's end did have me think of the movie: Possession There is also a scene where a lady painter seeks her way out by walking into the water. Very sad, a loss, a shame on the world.
Greetings: Peter

Found this jewel in someone's favorites. So glad I did. I agree with those before me...It is a lovely tribute to the poet and the oral reading is outstanding. I wish more people would do a few audios to add to their catalogs. I think it gives it so much more meaning (or depth to meaning) when you hear what the poet has said in the way he/she heard it in his/her head when writing it.
Loved it, Adri...well done.
~Amy

That's a fine poem. It was great to hear your voice. This is the very thing I've been talking to you about. This is a perfect embodiment of embracing the breadth of life.

I really liked the poem already, the sparsity is very effective; but with the audio, it soars. Adri, my dear, you speak in a melody.

Although I have not read anything of I. Jonker (sure will now!) This seems to be an excellent dedication! Your artistic portrayal of her pain and tragic death is well executed and might inspire readers to reach out some more. Aeth
