The Nirox Sculpture Park is in the Cradle of Humankind and is set on a beautiful park with amazing sculptures around the park. The park was originally a trout farm. We has an amazing few days there. A perfect place for inspiration, quiet and creativity! Even had our own Chef, so was nice not to worry about cooking and doing dishes for a change :)
The Nirox Words Festival took place on 22-23 October 2017. Athol has a few sessions. One with fellow poets Toni Stuart and Lebo Mashile. It was a great session of poetry.
The announcement of the 2017 Sol Plaatje EU Poetry Award was announced during the festival. Athol was the MC as well as one of the English judges for the competition. Well done to all winners.It was the first time that a non-English poem won - well done Moses. Wally Serobe was the main judge.
Athol had a session with Afrikaans poet and TV host Bibi Slippers who shared some of her poetry.
Athol had a great session about his new poetry book INVITATION.
It was a great festival!
