Dr Charl-Pierre Naudé. Poetry workshop 02/10/23

On Monday, 2 October 2023, the University of South Africa was graced with the presence of Dr Charl-Pierre Naudé, who conducted an enlightening poetry workshop. Naudé compellingly posited that a major reason for global unrest is the underlying deficiency in communication. Poetry, he believes, delves deep into this aspect, probing the obscured facets of our existence. It gives voice to the oft-unheard yearnings to be seen and acknowledged. He opined, "Poetry says there is nothing wrong by wanting to be noticed. People are feeling they are not noticed enough." For those who missed the live session, a recording of this riveting workshop is available for viewing at no charge on Samespraak's website. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr Naudé for generously imparting his profound insights on poetry.
