All the Days – Robert Berold

Description

“Robert Berold’s All the Days is his fourth collection of poetry. The collection evinces all the characteristics of Berold’s trademark voice, so tellingly brought together in his last collection, Rain Across a Paper Field – his refined simplicity, his focus upon sharply defined and evocative imagery, a preoccupation with the natural world and the impermanence of the human – but here in this new book he pushes these elements further and deeper; both more deeply personal and less emotional at one and the same time.” – Kobus Moolman, New Coin

“All the Days reaches further and sings more clearly than his earlier work. The reader will be struck by the spare lucidity of the language, the elemental sense of place – and the way love in the end gets the better of difficulty.”
– Denis Hirson

“Robert Berold has published four collections of poetry and nine other books, which include a memoir, a biography, and (as editor) a rural skills handbook, a book of interviews with poets and an anthology of South African poetry. From 1989 to 1999 he edited the poetry journal New Coin. He coordinated the MA in Creative Writing at Rhodes University from its inception in 2011 until 2015. He has edited over 50 collections by South African poets, many of them published by his Deep South press.” – Deep South Website
