Description: I have written a collection of isiXhosa poems for my thesis. I was influenced by the conditions in life women often find themselves, as well as the cultural stereotypes that perpetuate these conditions. Writers who have had an impact on my writing are W. B. Rubusana, S. E. K. Mqhayi and J. J. R. Jolobe because of their language, rhythm and the richness of their writing more generally. It is as if they are voices of a past generation who reach out on us, today. More recent American poets such as Amiri Baraka, on the other hand, have shown me how poems can meet you, can come as bullets that pierce your heart, soul and brain. Combining these old and new poetic styles, I intend for my poems to be of value and benefit to women who seek mental, spiritual and physical healing. It is a uhlobo lwemveliso ngamandla aphezulu, lukhuni phezulu, ukumelana phezulu wear, kunye nokumelana igcwala elungileyo, ukumelana ukothuka thermal kunye nezinye iimpawu. RBSIC uye ukusebenza ixesha elide elihle kakhulu (ethelekiswa RESIC kunye SNBSC) amandla ugoba kuliphinda-phinda kabini kwe RESIC,-50% aphezulu kwe SNBSC.
