Author Description

Footprints of the Heart is an anthology of poetry written by University of Johannesburg students and compiled by Quaz Roodt as part of the University's poetry programme. The title of the anthology is taken from the poem 'Footprints of the heart' by Mpoba 'Knowledge' Monyeke. The poetry in this collection offers readers a glimpse into the minds of young people entering adulthood. It shows them dealing with life loss and love. This is also the first time that some of the contributors have had their work published and we hope it serves as a catalyst for future writing and publishing endeavours.
