When Afternoons Taper to Mortality and Other Poems

By Richard Walne

Acclaimed South African writer, poet and musician Richard Walne (1968 - 2007) takes us on a poignant and, at times, melancholy journey in this collection of poems, found in a journal on his kitchen counter after his death. When Afternoons Taper to Mortality and other poems is an evocative exploration of love, loss, beginnings and endings.

"Richard Walne's poems invite us in to their own world of fierce loving, of passion that is not simply sexual or sensual or even ultimately physical (though the physical is more often than not the gateway). It is a self-created world of heartfelt sincerity, where contradictions and lies make absolute sense, and where the beauty of the world and of the other meet and separate and meet again." -- Kobus Moolman, poet and playwright
