Oct 25th, 2024
Colin Dekeersgieter, author of the new poetry collection Opium and Ambergris, speaks to Brink, the online literary publication.
“In the construction of a poem the writer sometimes wanders into a realization or a new sense of apprehension—moves from being apprehensive to apprehending. In the same breath, and I guess this is the point, it’s also where the poet can float in negative capability, can accept believing in multiple contradictions at once…”—Colin Dekeersgieter
