Myra Lochner
I am the director of a non-profit organisation called KREATIV. The aim of our creative projects - my thoughts, poetry, prose - is to expose the dynamics of integrating intellect and emotion, and enhancing a refined wholeness dwelling temporarily, but contentedly, in a mortal body. KREATIV launches international creative projects which focus on marketing South Africa in a non-political way. We launched a project with Fuji Film in 2001, South Africa Focused, inviting poets from all over the world to enter photos which demonstrate their connections with South Africa, and handed over prizes to the amount of R30 000. We also published three international poetry compilations, Reis/Journey, Taal van Liefde/Language of Love and the recent Droomboek van Drome/Dream Book of Dreams. I write in English in order to promote Afrikaans worldwide.
