Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis study focuses on the study of J.P. Shongwe's poetry. The introductory chapter reveals the actual aim of this study. Shongwe's biographical note clarifies his whole background and social life, factors and circumstances that influenced his writing specifically of poems. In chapter 2 the focus is on some of the related political issues particularly given that educational issues are highly politicized in the South African context. This chapter also gives a short background on cultural, social, religious aspects and beliefs in Shongwe's poetry. Chapter 3 focuses only on Shongwe as to whether he is a metaphysical or not. Chapter 4 discusses the different types of imagery. The poet employs imagery, which enables him to express his thoughts vividly and concisely. In chapter 5 we focus on the external structure of Shogwe's poetry. Chapter 6 is a concluding chapter with the evaluation, findings and recommendations.
