‘Train to Mitchells Plain’… We ended off the show with Tyrone African Appollis. This Bridgetown born musician, sculptor, artist and now poet- launched his debut poetry collection entitled ‘Train to Mitchells Plain’ was launched this past weekend at the Cape Town Book Fair. This poetry book is said to depict but one journey of his life. He says that his writing is not just influenced by his past experiences, but also everyday things
A teaser of what’s in the book:
MY friend
the cape storm
smashed
the skeleton bridge
in HALF
it fell
paralyzed
into the water
and SUNK
my HOPES
of crossing
over to you
who OWES
MY WIFE glorious
Trickle of MONEY
