Sinopse

Listen to Sindiswa Busuku-Mathese in conversation with Gabeba Baderoon about her new collection of poetry ─ The History of Intimacy ─ featuring beautiful readings by Gabeba. The History of Intimacy is the fourth collection by award-winning poet Gabeba Baderoon. Breathtaking intimacies and private hurts are crafted into lyrical form – in poems on desiring what is furthest from you, memories of a midnight swim, how children work out the laws of existence, the stakes of speaking a forbid­den word, elegies to a jazz prodigy and a beloved poet, and how not to be alone. "Baderoon’s poems are finely crafted objects of art, delicately shaped and containing rich emotion and thought. She is building a powerful body of work, rooted in Africa and reaching line after line to the wider world." – Kwame Dawes, author of City of Bones: A Testament "An exquisite new collection from one of South Africa’s finest, most treasured poets." – Nadia Davids, author of An Imperfect Blessing.
