Diana Ferrus, boorling en trots van Worcester, word nogmaals vir haar bydrae tot Afrikaanse skrywe gehuldig. <\/p>\n
Hierdie keer word sy in September by die twaalfde Tuin van Digters-fees vereer. Die fees word jaarliks deur die Breytenbach Sentrum op Wellington aangebied. Ferrus meen hierdie huldiging is \u2019n groot eer.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie sentrum en ek kom al \u2019n lang pad. Hulle het my gevra om kreatiewe skryfwerksessies daar aan te bied in 2012. Natuurlik is ek baie opgewonde; die sentrum bevestig sy vertroue in my as fasiliteerder en digter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Di\u00e9 protes-digter, soos daar na haar verwys word in \u2019n mediaverklaring oor die fees, s\u00ea hierdie fees is een van die belangrikste vir digters.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie Tuin van Digters huldig digters vanoor \u2019n hele spektrum. Die fees is een van die belangrikste vir digters. Ek en my groep is sedert die begin deel van die fees. <\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie fees is een waar ons nuwe werk kom voorlees en toets. Hier sien ons ook gunsteling-digters, rymkletsers en musici sowel as visuele kunstenaars. Dit is \u2019n fees wat ek nooit wil mis nie. En natuurlik dat Breyten Breytenbach gedurende dieselfde fees sy kunswerk gaan uitstal, is \u2019n groot pluspunt.\u201d <\/p>\n
Die Tuin van Digters-fees se tema is vanjaar \u201cLewen\u00adde woord(e)\u201d. Ferrus verduidelik wat dit vir haar beteken: \u201cEk sou s\u00ea lewende woorde is woorde wat \u2019n leser of gehoor raak, en moet woorde wees wat indringend praat met \u2019n leser of die gehoor. Dit moet woorde wees wat goed uitgedink is vir maksimum effek van klank, metafore en ander elemente van die digkuns. Lewende woorde moet hoop gee, moet mense bymekaarbring en veral die digter laat met \u2019n gevoel van accomplishment<\/i>.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy is ook van mening dat die titel protes-digter haar goed pas.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaar word baie titels aan my toegedig. Protes-digter pas my goed. Dit beteken ook dat mense my werk gelees het en verstaan waaroor ek skryf. Natuurlik wil ek vergrype aanspreek, van die verlede en die huidige,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n
Hierdie lewende legende vier ook oor \u2019n paar maande haar 70ste verjaardag.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk beskou 70 as \u2019n groot mylpaal, so baie in my familie en van my vriende kon dit nie haal nie. Dis nog amper twee maande om te gaan.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk bid vir gesondheid sodat ek my harde werk oor die jare kan vier saam met familie en vriende wat in my glo, di\u00e9 wat my geleenthede gegee het om te groei en veral liefhebbers van my werk.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit sluit in my groep, Di Mengelmoes-digters, en alle kunstenaars wat daar sal wees.\u201d <\/p>\n
Al vier sy \u2019n groot mylpaal-verjaardag is daar nog geen teken dat Ferrus van plan is om uit te tree uit die skryfw\u00eareld nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk en die Mengelmoes-digters gaan \u2019n bundel uitgee. Ek self wil twee bundels, een in Engels en een in Afrikaans, uitgee. Ek hoop ook om my memoires klaar te skryf. Ek werk met baie mense, oud-Worcesteriet June Esau het haar boek klaar geskryf, wyle Cecyl Esau se klasmaats se boek is amper klaar. Clint Abrahams, \u2019n jong argitek wat klasgee by die Universiteit van Kaapstad, se gemeenskapstorievertelprojek is ook amper klaar. Ceres het ook \u2019n groep met wie ek wil werk. Hulle is matrikulante van 1985 wat nie toegelaat is om eind-eksamen te skryf nie. Dit is maar \u2019n paar van die projekte wat nog voorl\u00ea.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk wil nog skryfwerksessies in Worcester kom aanbied. Ek wil graag met die munisipaliteit praat daaroor. Daar is \u2019n groot behoefte.\u201d Die Tuin van Digters-fees word op 15 en 16 September gehou en die huldiging sal op die 15de plaasvind by die Breytenbach Sentrum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
