Soon after completing Greater Matter - A Journey of Poems to Death and Beyond, Silke was prompted to assemble unassuming house and garden poem pairs. The book that resulted is entitled Sweet Nothings. It includes 35-odd empty pages encouraging the reader to find peace by means of the writerly process. Since then, she has created two new manuscripts, which she is intending to home with the right publisher.
The wonderful Give Your Writing the Edge newsletter archive is currently only available on request - please email silke@silkeheiss.co.za - but you will find helpful writing tips on this website, among the Nuggets.
This was a space where Silke dreamed her dreams, spoke her mind, shared her journey and sometimes disappeared from - a sign that she was enjoying her solitude. She is taking a sabbatical from regular postings until July next year, so is right now blogging only sporadically.
