Deep South, South Africa
For 20 years Deep South, run by Robert Berold, has been publishing bold and risk-taking South African poetry, regardless of its 'marketability'.
Deep South has published books by Ari Sitas, Seitlhamo Motsapi, Lesego Rampolokeng, Kelwyn Sole, Mxolisi Nyezwa, Angifi Dladla, Joan Metelerkamp, Vonani Bila, Khulile Nxumalo, Isabella Motadinyane, Alan Finlay, Mangaliso Buzani, Haidee Kotze, and several other fine poets. We have published over 30 books: mostly poetry, but some novels. We like to think our books do what all good writing can do – open new ways of seeing the world.
Deep South distributes in South Africa through Blue Weaver, who market to local bookshops and libraries locally, and African Books Collective in Oxford UK, who handle international distribution and e-book publication. South African readers can get books direct from info@deepsouth.co.za
