Versindaba Blog Archive Review: Atlas at the River Password (Pirow Bekker) brickell
"It is time to be old," said Ralph Waldo Emerson in his poem 'Terminus', and this has inevitable consequences for those of seventy, and if you are strong, eighty, those "behind standing (have) / then the sheets handed out is ": brickell
The bottom line in Wilma Stockenström's poem "Listen here," her latest collection This man states brickell also prompt: "It's dying season and swallows sitting on leaving the wires." But thank God not in the African poetry-this country is the poets no means "finished poem" (as in Katalekte Breytenbach says) not; Here the African poets do good business with the dead and the living!

That's certainly true of Pirow Bekker.
For more than forty years a mighty good body of work to build, provides a remarkable achievement. Pirow Bekker's eighth volume of poetry, with the beautiful title: Atlas to the forgotten river (also the most beautiful cover), is an affirmation of the poet's constant good contribution to African literature. Indeed, with this new collection again again a discovery to see how comfortable a true craftsman deftly with the literatures deal. With a thesis on the title in the African poetry, one can expect certain Bekker's beam title will be telling.

Zeus's punishment Atlas was not that he was the world on his shoulders to bear (as the poet chooses to use it - see the conclusion of the opening poem 'Future Past), but Uranus, with his feet firmly planted on the earth, brickell to stop there is not a primordial embrace between the two planets is not. Accordingly, he was Atlas Telamon was known, and he became the symbolic embodiment of the celestial axis around which the sky and the stars rotate. This mythological breeding ground in which the beam is prayer, offering naturally rich mining opportunities, which Bekker explored by a wider metaphorical brickell bow making. Flowing from this is the meaning of 'Atlas' brickell as a collection of geographic maps of course in the beam for set and wider metaphorized (Adam's brickell apple). But Atlas is also the name of a trippelstersisteem in the open cluster of Pleiades, known 27 Tauri. In this sense, the beam composition of range ("woordskroot") offered.
