DENIS Schreiber (44) het nooit daarvan gedroom om \u2019n digbundel uit te reik nie \u2013 al was hy as \u2019n skaam ho\u00ebrskoolleerder reeds lief vir skryf.<\/p>\n
Veral gedigte . . .<\/p>\n
Sy ontvlugting van die dikwels moeilike werklikheid. Van die baie rondtrek saam met sy posmeester-pa en werkende ma. Vreemde skole en nuwe maats.<\/p>\n
Toe volg 11 harde en ontnugterende jare by die polisie, asook \u2019n aantal jare as sekuriteitsbeampte.<\/p>\n
Deesdae is hy \u2019n swaarvragmotorbestuurder in Nebraska, Amerika vir nege maande van die jaar. Die oorblywende drie bly hy in Jeffreysbaai.<\/p>\n
Maar sy groot liefde en passie bly skryf \u2013 diep gedigte uit sy hart uit wat sy menswees op papier verewig.<\/p>\n
\n Debuutbundel<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Schreiber, \u2019n lid van die Silent Soldiers SA motorfietsklub, het pas met sy digbundel, Kronkelpad<\/i>, debuteer. Vyf van die 50 gedigte in die bundel verskyn eersdaags in Stemme uit die Suiderland 14<\/i> \u2013 \u2019n digbundel van die Genootskap vir die Handhawing vir Afrikaans (GHA), wat hulle vir die bevordering van Afrikaanse gedigte beywer.<\/p>\n
Die gedigte is Die Boer Alleen<\/i>, Sondaars Gebed<\/i>, Woorde<\/i>, Verdwaal<\/i> en Klipkerk<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Verdere drie van sy gedigte \u2013 Herbergie<\/i>r<\/i>, Scattered Pieces<\/i> en Stiltes Tussen Woorde<\/i> \u2013 getoonset deur Wouter van de Venter \u2013 word binnekort vrygestel.<\/p>\n
Schreiber meen dat elke oomblik en emosie wat hy tot dusver op sy lewens-pad ervaar het, \u2019n onlosmaaklike rol in sy gedigte speel.<\/p>\n
Hy vee oor sy stoppelbaard, sy blou o\u00eb nougetrek: \u201cTussen my grootword-jare, hartsmense wat ek verloor het, en persoonlike oorlo\u00eb wat ek moes veg, het alles bygedra tot waar ek vandag is. Daar was skerp draaie, grondpaaie, slaggate en donkerstrate op my lewenspad. Partykeer het die lewe net gebeur, soms teen my eie sin, en ander kere was dit as gevolg van keuses.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het elkeen van daardie oomblikke ervaar, beleef: ek het gelag en by tye ook gehuil. Ander kere was ek trots, maar uiteindelik het ek elke oomblik en emosie op papier neergepen.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk sit met \u2019n versameling van woorde wat oor die jare bymekaar gemaak is en nou in my bundel verpak word. Dit is \u2019n verwoording van verliese en teleurstelling, maar ook van liefde, geluk en goeie tye \u2013 \u2019n weer- spie\u00ebling van wie ek is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Di\u00e9 kronkelpad word in sy eenvou-dige, dog ryke verse ontgin.<\/p>\n
Eenvoudig, oop, maar nie simplisties nie.<\/p>\n
\n Die gedagte met die bundel is gewis nie om ryk of beroemd te word nie. <\/p>\n
Vir Schrieber, wat oorspronklik net een boek vir homself wou laat druk het, gaan dit oor die fisieke voorwerp.<\/p>\n
Hy glimlag skaam: \u201cDit is mooi gedruk en hier is dit, ek kan daaraan vat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Po\u00ebsie is ook vir hom \u2019n manier om te kommunikeer: \u201cJy wil dit s\u00ea en aan mense oordra en elke keer is dit iets anders. En as van die gedigte met die leser praat, dan weet ek dat ek iets reg gedoen het.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Van idee tot woorde<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Hy staar na die pad by die koffiewinkel waar ons gesels: \u201c\u2019n Handvol van die gedigte was met \u2019n gelukskoot dadelik reg \u2013 daar kom so \u2019n flikkering en die woorde vind vanself hul pad tot op die papier . . . <\/p>\n
\u201cMaar dan is daar ander verse waaraan jy baie lank werk, wat jy moet oorskryf en soms skrap. <\/p>\n
\u201cDikwels gaan dit deur verskillende vorms en dit vat lank om reg te kom. Dit verskil ook van gedig tot ge-dig. Daar is nie \u2019n volle stel re\u00ebls nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daarom hou hy nie van \u2019n voorskriftelike beskrywing van hoe \u2019n mens \u2019n gedig moet skryf nie.<\/p>\n
En van paarrym, omarmde rym en koeplets wat hy op skool geleer het, onthou hy weinig.<\/p>\n
Waar skryf hy?<\/p>\n
\u201cBaie van die gedigte gebeur onder die dowwe kajuitlig van my vragmotor terwyl ek wag dat die vrag op- of afgelaai word. Sommiges wanneer ek alleen in my kamer sit en alles om my stil raak \u2013 wanneer ek alleen is, skryf ek.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tot vyf op \u2019n aand.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk hoop dat ek in die nabye toe-koms kan s\u00ea dat die verkeerde afdraaipaaie my op die nuwe pad van digkuns gebring het,\u201d s\u00ea Schreiber wat reeds aan \u2019n aantal nuwe gedigte werk.<\/p>\n
