The Journey

For Antonatie Jemwa, The Journey, ". depicts the reality of events that each individual can relate to; it points out to positivity in the grand experience of life as it unfolds each chapter, just as each season, in a lifetime. " Informed by faith, the poems have a common theme of love, of how enhancing and revitalising it can be, and yet at the same time so fragile. Grouped under headings like 'Family', 'Dreams', 'Character' and 'Gone', Jemwa shines a light on our interactions with the world, both metaphysical and real, which make The Journey a lottery that perhaps can only find an understanding through faith. The Journey is a meditation, a sensitive look at our condition through the instrument of poetry.
