Hanta Henning publishes her debut, bilingual collection

Release Date: 30 August 2021
ISBN: 978-0-6398210-9-2
Genre: Poetry/Prose
Language(s): English & Afrikaans

This collection of poetry signifies a journey through childhood and adult trauma. Serving as a pseudo diary, it chronicles the poet’s struggle to navigate the troubled waters of mental and verbal abuse, mental illness, self acceptance, body shaming and self harm, rejection and loss.
A cathartic process, this debut serves to close a painful chapter in Henning’s life, while hopefully also speaking to others who may experience the same circumstances and affects.
