Description
Antjie Krog’s debut volume, Daughter of Jephthah, and the award-winning January Suite, published in one volume. In the schoolgirl of Kroonstad’s first barefoot poems, young readers recognized themselves and snapped it up. But at 18, Antjie Krog’s debut volume, Daughter of Jephthah, was already so ripe that she could count young and old among her readers. January Suite, which appeared two years later, was awarded the Eugène Marais Prize in 1973. First poems are the reissue of these two timeless volume.
Antjie Krog se debuutbundel, Dogter van Jefta, en die bekroonde Januarie-suite, in een bundel uitgegee. In die skoolmeisie van Kroonstad se eerste kaalvoetgedigte het jong lesers hulleself herken en dit opgeraap. Maar op 18 was Antjie Krog se debuutbundel, Dogter van Jefta, reeds so ryp dat sy oud en jonk onder haar lesers kon tel. Januarie-suite, wat twee jaar later verskyn het, is in 1973 met die Eugène Marais-prys bekroon. Eerste gedigte is die heruitgawe van hierdie twee tydlose bundels.
