VOICES FROM ANOTHER ROOM, poems

70pp., paperback, Cape Town, 2018

"The distinctive atmosphere of Voices from Another Room is elegiac and nostalgic, the occasional emotional use of rhyme recalling Auden. The sense of a lived life is moving, with loss and absence the major themes. Payne can also tell a story and paint a picture...This is an original voice in South African verse" Tony Voss, author of The Mushroom Summer of Skipper Darling

Stuart Payne lives in Cape Town, where he was born. Voices from Another Room is his debut collection of poems.
