ST Mary’s DSG, Kloof’s high school SPAR Star of the Month is Grade 10 learner, Andiswa Luthuli.
Andiswa won first place for her Found Poem in the Words Festival as part of the Culture@Kearsney programme.
Culture@Kearsney is a well-established and exciting annual programme that is designed to celebrate the arts and promote cultural appreciation among the youth in KwaZulu-Natal.
Andiswa loves to express her thoughts and feelings through poetry.
“A reader enters the poet’s world and experiences the poet’s life through their eyes. That allows me to see life in a different perspective,” said Andiswa.
Andiswa’s Found Poem was developed from a page from “Purple Hibiscus” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Her poem is titled ‘What I have, could have been’.
She described found poetry as the literary equivalent of a collage where a person will take words, phrases or whole passages from source work. The already written material will then be reworked and given a new, personal meaning.
“Well done Andiswa, we are very proud of your achievement,” said the school’s marketing and communications administrator, Sarah Bartholomew.
