To celebrate the publication of her first poetry collection Karen Jennings will be interviewed by Helen Moffett on Wednesday 6 June at The Book Lounge Cape Town’s leading independent bookshop. Drinks and canapés will be served.

Space Inhabited by Echoes is a frank and poignant collection of autobiographical poems that transport the reader across two continents, and the vast internal shifts that accompany love, loss and translocation.

‘Her poems display a virtuosity and depth that many poets only reach later in their careers.’ – Kobus Moolman

‘This is a breath-taking debut.’ – Helen Moffett

From Thursday 17 May onwards Space Inhabited by Echoes is available from good bookshops, Amazon, SPD, Xavier Nagel Agencies, Central Books and this website.

Karen Jennings is the author of Finding Soutbek which was shortlisted for the inaugural Etisalat Prize for Literature 2013, Travels with My Father, an autobiographical novel, and Away from the Dead, a short story collection.
