From the article:
* Tyrone August’s welcome, and overdue, biography – Dennis Brutus, The South African Years – is based on the author’s doctoral dissertation at the University of the Western Cape.
* All told, Brutus published 12 collections, starting in 1963 with Sirens, Knuckles, Boots and culminating in 2005 with Leafdrift. In addition, Worcester State University (US) brought out a selected poetry collection in 2004 to honour his 80th birthday.
