DESCRIPTION: he corpus of Mongane Serotes poetry, published between 1972 and 1982, is in effect the autobiography of a writer coming to terms with an entirely new function for literature, and the personal record of a man moving from the anguished bewilderment of a sensitive youth attempting to reconcile an overwhelming faith in humankind with the implacable brutality of an apartheid regime, to the serenity of a mature and dedicated worker for the creation of a new society: a worker who has recognised that such a society has to be paid for in blood, as the old society has been, and still is being, paid for in blood.
