"an intimate journey of self-reflection...sensitive, sincere, and skillful"
--Sherry Quan Lee, author of Chinese Blackbird
About the Author
Nick Purdon was born in 1976 in East London in the Eastern Cape province of South
Africa. After a few moves around the country, his family settled in the Western Cape city of
Cape Town in 1981 where he has lived since. Nick began writing poetry seriously at the age
of 27, though he had been writing on-and-off since his teenage years.
About the Chapbook
The Road-Shaped Heart is the poetic journey of a man winding
his way through a landscape of darkness, anguish, addiction, loss
and grief; carrying with him a lantern of hope, courage, idealism and
love to illuminate a pathway to self-forgiveness, acceptance and spiritual
growth. While often haunting and melancholy, the poems are
also rich in vivid colour and imagery, with an ever-present sense of
fire lilies relentlessly springing forth from a razed and scorched soul.
Acclaim for The Road-Shaped Heart
"The Road-Shaped Heart by Nick Purdon will squeeze the heart
of each reader to elicit emotions held tight. Each reader will find his
or her own life pain and loss within the words spread before them
like a feast to be swallowed until the soul has been touched."
Barbara Sinor, PhD, author Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery
