Foundling's Island, by P.R. Anderson

P.R. Anderson's second collection - which as an unfinished manuscript shared the 2003 Sanlam Literary Award - announced his arrival as a fresh and significant voice in South African poetry. Republished now for the first time in over a decade, Foundling's Island's journey of coasts, countries, creatures and dreams is as tightly crafted and joyously readable as it has ever been; a book of poems whose forms are created with the lightest of touches, their meanings maintained to the greatest effect.
