Description
Under the Wings of Africa is a provocative mélange of poetry, memoir, and letters to a lover chronicling the author's visit to South Africa in the company of his wife. Beautifully detailed descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the author's greatest passion for bird watching are woven into a rich narrative of love and loss. In this book fact and fiction are expertly manipulated by Weier to create an aesthetic tapestry of his inner and outer worlds.
About the author
John Weier believes nothing is simple, especially his writing: his memoirs are novels, and his novels documentary. His poetry is prose and follows diary lines, his prose is poetic. The author of five previous collections of poetry, three works of fiction, two nature memoirs and a children’s book, John often writes about his passions, travel, birding and the violin. Weier lives and writes in Winnipeg where he also works as a luthier.
