Gabeba Baderoon Live
Listen to Sindiswa Busuku-Mathese in conversation with Gabeba Baderoon about her new collection of poetry \u2500 The History of Intimacy \u2500 featuring beautiful readings by Gabeba.\n\nThe History of Intimacy is the fourth collection by award-winning poet Gabeba Baderoon. Breathtaking intimacies and private hurts are crafted into lyrical form \u2013 in poems on desiring what is furthest from you, memories of a midnight swim, how children work out the laws of existence, the stakes of speaking a forbid\xadden word, elegies to a jazz prodigy and a beloved poet, and how not to be alone.\n\n"Baderoon\u2019s poems are finely crafted objects of art, delicately shaped and containing rich emotion and thought. She is building a powerful body of work, rooted in Africa and reaching line after line to the wider world." \u2013 Kwame Dawes, author of City of Bones: A Testament\n\n"An exquisite new collection from one of South Africa\u2019s finest, most treasured poets." \u2013 Nadia Davids, author of An Imperfect Blessing.
