Summary:
"The Art of Waiting for Tales is the first of its kind in South Africa. Here, 71 poems found in 22 chapters of Barbara Boswell's award-winning debut novel Grace, tell the stories of the characters through poetic chunks in intriguingly revealing scenes, dialogue and prose. Poetic devices and imagination, writerly dexterity and scholarly creativity fuse, resulting in a unique text; redefining literature. These poems tell stories of families and the challenges they face, starting with Grace and her parents, Mary and Patrick. The southeaster and the landscape of the Western Cape continue to hold Grace as she transitions into adulthood, recreating her life. This use of found poetry from a single source charts a new trajectory in literature: it widens the boundaries of found poetry while bridging the gap between genres. Process notes - descriptive and intricate - include examples to demonstrate the method of this kind of creativity."-- Back cover.
