In her debut poetry collection, These Are the Things We Have Lost, Janice Warman chronicles a journey from her South African childhood to the landscapes of motherhood with unflinching honesty. From pregnancy 'high on hormones and Pellegrino', to themes of love, loss and longing, these poems capture intimate moments of tenderness and rupture.

With a journalist’s precision and a poet’s sensitivity, Warman's voice moves between continents and decades. A celebration of life’s joys and an elegy for what inevitably slips through our grasp.
