| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/13001 Questions for the sea : a collection of poems by Stephen Symons Symons, Stephen Sole, Kelwyn Creative Writing Includes bibliographical references. This collection of 47 poems, Questions for the Sea, explores questions pertaining to the frailty of human existence within the natural and built environment. Many of the poems involve some form of human exposure, and subsequent response, to the e.ects of the natural elements. The presence of the ocean, whether obvious or nuanced, is o.ered to the reader as a constant; and serves as a point of entry or departure, and even inquiry, for the poems. The collection is divided into nine sections which encompass themes including landscape, natural topographies, specific localities within South Africa, inter-personal relationships, and aspects of human conflict, both historical and contemporary. Of special interest to the poet, are the visual properties of the poem’s form on paper, as well as its association with poetic style and narrative function. 2015-05-28T12:21:29Z 2015-05-28T12:21:29Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13001 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
