Poet Interview: Helen Moffett

"Following the silk rope of your words"

In the first of a (hopefully) semi-regular series of interviews with and between uHlanga poets, Milk Fever author Megan Natasha Ross chats with Helen Moffett about her award-winning 2016 release Prunings, as well as all of the other important things she tends to in her literary career – editing, mentoring, and living.

“And I’m now writing lots and lots of (bad) poems about the regeneration and transformation of the last ten months of my life, provisionally called “Spell”. Karina and I are talking about how we could possibly combine these unpublished collections, but it’s all up in the air, and the current poems need to be corralled into a drawer for composting.”
