“David Mann’s debut collection of stories about art and artists is elegant, plaintive, wry and urgent. It is an affectionate deliberation of the importance of art – and writing about it – in our current time of disquiet.” – Sean O’Toole, editor, curator and art critic

"Mofokeng’s poems are often in conversation with older, more established poets, especially with the jazz musicians he loves."
