His poems are notable for their historical-political astuteness flavored with a romantic surrealism. Sitas writes in a variety of poetic forms, from exuberant jazz-like improvisations to astringent political observations, from humorous dialogues to diary-like narratives. Though always complex, the warmth and self-interrogation of his poems ensures their wide appeal. Sitas is a distinguished and creative sociologist, a novelist, a dramatist who was co-founder of the Junction Avenue Theater Company, and a cultural activist well known for his work with trade unions and worker theater during his many years in Durban. He has collaborated with a number of artists, actors, and musicians, most recently with the Indian-South African Insurrections Ensemble, performing at the 2013 Poetry Africa Festival. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515495616674,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/31vdhXfjMvL._SY445_SX342_FMwebp.webp?v=1790150654","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/rough-music-selected-poems-1989-2013-ari-sitas","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
