Dryad Press is an independent South African publisher that promotes and publishes South African poetry. At Dryad Press we publish poetry, which in the words of Roland Barthes searches for “the inalienable meaning of things”. Innovative and exciting poetry that approaches naturalised norms in a fresh way.
Working with a rich, explicit and often musical intertextuality, this collection examines the challenges of both diaspora and displacement. The experience of a mother’s illness and death, and the packing-up of a family home in Harare, become the impetus to explore childhood memories and the adult child’s self-reckoning, raising questions of the earthly and the spiritual, the human and the animal, and the existential unhousing and self-homing of queerness.
