Keith Gottschalk

Keith Gottschalk serves the National Writers' Association of South Africa, New Contrast, Off the Wall, and convenes the Lansdowne Local Writers' Workshop.  

     His first poetry collection was Emergency Poems. He was awarded the Order of Ikhamanga in Silver because these anti-apartheid poems "draw critical attention to oppressive and unjust laws through performative political poetry. His work provided strength and motivated many people to fight for liberation."

     His latest poetry collection is Cosmonauts do it in Heaven, an irreverent take on astronomy and spaceflight. He shows that both classical icons like the moon and stars, and also spacecraft, can serve as metaphors for romance and tragedy.
