Vision from the Edge: Breyten Breytenbach Painting the Lines plot

The South African poet Breyten Breytenbach has been living in exile since 1959. His involvement in anti-apartheid activism made it impossible for him to live in his native country any longer, but Breytenbach has also continued to work for a more just South Africa from abroad. Even after the apartheid regime, his life is determined by the struggle for dignity and humanity, in which he is increasingly inspired by Zen Buddhist ideas. Although the poet Breytenbach enjoys worldwide fame, this only applies to a limited extent to the painter.
