Ep 13: Flow Wellington & Karabo Kgoleng – Margins and Metaphors: Poetry at the fringes

Margins and Metaphors: Poetry at the fringes

What does it mean to write from the margins?

In this episode of Thekgang Talking, Flow Wellington joins Karabo Kgoleng to explore poetry as a literary form that documents experience, questions convention and gives expression to voices that have historically been overlooked.

The conversation reflects on the role of metaphor in poetry, the importance of language and identity, and how poets continue to shape cultural conversations through their work.

Margins and Metaphors offers a thoughtful exploration of poetry’s enduring place within African literature and publishing.
