Mark Muller’s Night Shipping is an anthology of 31 poems divided into two parts – Salad Days [1993–2005] set mostly in Cape Town, and Eis tin Polin [2006–2018] in Istanbul.
Lavishly illustrated with 22 sketches by Diana Page, Night Shipping shows just how the visual can complement the verbal without telling what is shown or showing what is told. ROBIN STUART-CLARK, PUBLISHER – JULY 2022
PLEASE NOTE: This anthology is a limited edition
description
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.
