Publisher’s note
Isabella Motadinyane, who died in 2003 aged 40, had a style of writing and performing that was entirely her own. On the page her poems were intense, funny and painful, while her onstage delivery, whether speech or song, was electrifying in its vitality and timing. Her elliptical and associative poems mixed languages, crossed rural and urban cultures.
Isabella was an active member of the Botsotso Jesters poetry performance group, in fact the group’s name came from one of her poems. Her collected work – just over 30 poems – was published as Bella in 2007 by Botsotso Publishing.
