The Wound of Waves Refilwe Baloyi

The Wound of Waves. This is a book that is cheerful, painful, and healing as it unlocks the reality of life mystery. I understand why a wound of waves captures the dignity, pride, ambiguity, dilemma, insult, and the use of words that enables shifting the ache in the heart. I lived with my grandmother in a small town of Pretoria in Mamelodi. I understand the concept "It takes a village to raise a child". Through the years, in Mamelodi, Refilwe learned to love herself, humbleness, being open mind, own spiritual upliftment, and kindness to the community, and the rest. I met and fell in love with the movie Akeelah and the Beeh. Moreover, I fell in love with Maya Angelou, Lebogang Mashile, and William Shakespeare which kept my thoughts intact and free. It is with so much love that I dedicate the poetry book. It is a great experience to write a poetry book as it is the first book. A deep poetry book that understands love and captures how rejection strengthens one's abilities.
