What the Book Lounge had to say:
“The 2024 Book Lounge Book of the Year award goes to Siphokazi Jonas for her incredible collection of poetry, ‘Weeping Becomes a River’.
Weeping Becomes a River is storytelling as a tapestry, threads of ancestral folktales woven through the complex contradictions of modern living.
Through her poems, Siphokazi Jonas delivers a crisp portrait of a marginalized body supposedly born to freedom, an attempted roadmap through a post-apartheid age of surveillance.
It is her love letter to being a full self, unapologetic and untranslatable, to the deliberate act of becoming, always.”
