description: Third World Express is a major new long poem by one of South Africa’s foremost poets. Critics have in the past pointed to Serote’s ‘apocalyptic vision’ of South Africa’s future, and with what Nadine Gordimer has called his ‘craftmanlike agony’ he develops his theme, a broad view, a positive view most important to our times, that although so much has been done to diminish and destroy people – in Africa, Asia, South America – reconstruction and the restoration of human integrity are not only possible but are happening.
