Windcatcher（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　J. M. Coetzee has described Breyten Breytenbach as “able to
descend effortlessly into the Africa of the poetic unconscious and
return with the rhythm and the words, the words in the rhythm, that
give life.” Windcatcher is a collection of Breytenbach’s best work
in poetry from 1964 to 2006, and includes many poems never before
published.There are poems here from Paris in the sixties; poems
written in prison, when Breytenbach was jailed in South Africa for
seven years for his activities against the apartheid regime; poems
of exile from New York in the nineties; poems from Vancouver, from
Amsterdam, from Dar es-Salaam.Windcatcher is a remarkable record of
a remarkable life and imagination. it is when night is at its
deepest just before morning that the muezzin calls the faithful for
they are still asleep and his sad cry drifts over index fingers of
minarets rooftops and lovers and flowers and docks his sad cry
dawns over city –from “Dar es-Salaam: Harbor of Peace”

　　BREYTEN BREYTENBACH was born in Bonnievale, South Africa, and
