Then 17-20 August we were at the Lowveld Book Festival, our second year. It was great!
On Friday, Athol and a few poets visited a primary school and high school as part f the festival's Outreach Programme.
Athol had a poetry session about dreams at the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre and also was on a panel taking about the role of literature in changing society.
We then spent two nights in Hoedspruit. Athol gave a poetry workshop for children in Acornhoek which was attended by legendary journalist and photographer who took the famous Hector Pietersen photo, Sam Mzima. It was lovely to meet him and his wife Thelma. It was wonderful to stay at our friends who live on a game estate, we saw giraffe, warthogs and wild dog puppies!
From 25-27 we went to McGregor for the poetry festival, also our second year back. It was great!
