NIGHT SHIPPING

POETRY ANTHOLOGY

Poems by Mark Muller drawings by Diana Page

This extraordinary book exists in the liminal. It chronicles the meeting of various things: the natural and human worlds, the merging of sea and land, day turning into night, the conversation between exterior and interior realms both spatial and spiritual – and it folds around Istanbul, where east and west meet and merge chaotically. So, it's fitting that the book is itself just such a meeting and conversation.

It brings together Mark Muller's powerful yet tender imagistic verses with Diana Page's artworks. Diana is already a well-known artist, and Night Shipping should establish Mark Muller as a South African poet to watch.
