What is Owed

In this, his ninth poetry collection, Kelwyn Sole gives voice to a wide range of concerns, 
characteristically interweaving the personal with a wider social and political focus. What Is Owed? 
explores many topics: questions of youth and aging; the complex and illuminating experience of living 
in contemporary South Africa; commentary on the literary world and on love and other relationships; 
and the eco-political. In these poems Sole explores themes familiar to readers of his work and also 
extends them; adding to his already considerable reputation as a poet unafraid to ask difficult 
questions and wrestle with issues of form and content.
