Dr Elisa Galgut is a senior lecturer
in the Department of Philosophy at UCT, and is particularly interested in the
philosophy of literature. Her passion for poetry resulted in her completing a
masters degree in creative writing and she is also a published poet. Her
combination of interests make for thoughtful and well-crafted poetry as
evidenced in her debut collection:
The Attribute of
Poetry offers a feast of thought and image. Elisa
Galgut’s poetry seems both new and old, fresh in its ingenuity and mature in
the wisdom of its deliberations. In these ‘incantations of creation’ (to borrow
a line from one of the poems), a quiet yet powerful voice speaks to us; and we
cannot but be moved by it. – David Medalie
We welcome Elisa to our special weekend of poetry in our
beautiful village and look forward to her sharing her words with us..
