New poetry from Minimal Press – My Father’s Blazer by Phelelani Makhanya
 More about the book!

Phelelani Makhanya’s second poetry collection My Father’s Blazer pokes on diverse subjects, from environmental concerns to nostalgic reflections, to the vivid imagery of our natural landscape.

But it is his glaring naked bravery that is brought to the surface as he confronts his childhood lingering shadows, growing in a broken family with tangled family complexities.
