Bibliography: leaves 116. / In essensie is die manuskrip wat volg 'n versameling van my gedigte in Afrikaans en Engels. Verder word die digterlike stemme van Antjie Krog en Ingrid Jonker verken met die oog daarop om my eie poesie te verstaan. The thesis also focuses on the impact of illness and disability on my own creative processes and is an analysis of the gender constructs projected by my poetry and that of Ingrid Jonker and Anljie Krog . The work of C. G. Jung and secondary interpretations of his theories form the basis of this inquiry. The conflicting pOints of view around the terms anima and animus are explored. While special emphasis is placed on female archetypal structures, such as those coined by psychoanalyst Toni Wolff. Fairy Tale analyses, especially the dialogue between Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Mari-Louise Von Franz, seek to assist in understanding gender issues that are placed in the foreground by the poetry under discussion. In this regard the role of women in an archetypal context is discussed in conjunction with the feminist theories of, amongst others, Julia Kristeva and Simone De Beauvoir. The different strains of thought reflected in the manuscript complement and run parallel to one another, all addressing the common theme of gender.
