Announcing a New Editor for Muse @ BOOK SA: Natalia Molebatsi

February 26th, 2009 by Ben - Editor

Alert! I’m pleased to announce that Natalia Molebatsi has taken up the reins at Muse, BOOK SA’s platform for poetry and spoken word.

Natalia compiled and edited the recently-launched We Are… A poetry anthology. A poet, performer and writer, she has her finger on the pulse of South Africa’s incredibly vibrant spoken word scene.

Look out for her first post as Muse editor on Monday: an interview with Myesha Jenkins.

Here’s a brief clip of Natalia performing:
