Donkerberg/Bloodwood is a bilingual anthology of poems by the prize-winning writer Dominique Botha. The poetry is deeply rooted in the rural landscape of her childhood, transfigured by the shifting sands of loss, murder and love. The poet draws from a well of deep feeling, of melancholy and joy, resonating with the reader for being both intensely personal and universal. Bloodwood is her first solo poetry volume.
