Creation’s Yes!, an A Rocha poetry collection

1 Nov 2014

In 2012 A Rocha South Africa held a Writers’ Workshop in the Western Cape. Among the new writers were five poets whose dedication to loving and caring for the environment propelled them into meeting regularly to enjoy each other’s work. The result is Creation’s Yes!, edited by Heather Johnson and published online by A Rocha South Africa.

Snowstorm

A spinning swarm around the sun,
light flakes of snow
blot out the rain
and fall,
in little living silences;
some land,
as bold as bees
right on my warm and hopeful tongue,
some drop to earth, sighing,
stop,
and blink into the grass.

Read more by John Roff and the other four poets in the full text of the book in PDF format, available in A Rocha South Africa’s website.
