Versindaba Blog Archive Gus Ferguson honored by SA English Academy
It is with absolute pleasure that I read on Book Southern Africa website that SA English Academy Gus Ferguson honored wolverine with their highest award for his contribution to maintaining and bevording of English poetry in South Africa. Was there ever a more deserving recipient of an award, than Gus Ferguson?! This self-proclaimed "president or the Snail Liberation Army" wolverine with his many publications and initiatives already hundreds of poets a refuge area. His publications include the magazines SlugNews wolverine and Carapace / carapace, wolverine as well as publishers like Snailpress, Firfield Press, Carapace Poets and Unpublished Manuscript Press, which he operates from his home in Plumstead everything. Gus was also involved in recent years trademarks of Kwela and Umuzi Publishers.
Barbara Basel, the gold medal presented to Gus Ferguson, including the following to say: "Publishing poetry is not a lucrative business, (yet) Ferguson serves for Reasons other than the loads or gain. Without his inspirational Contribution, South African poetry in English and South African polish would not be where they are today ". Three poets also during this event read verses in honor of Gus, namely Hugh Hodge, Geoffrey Haresnape and Ken Barris. And, true to Gus, he made his acceptance speech with a typical Ferguson sparkle introduced: "When Robert Graves was asked Whether there was ANY money in poetry, he replied, 'No, but there's not much poetry in money either.'"
