| Summary: | An investigation into poets' creative use of the Christian Bible reveals that receptions of the Bible as an imaginative text play an important role in what is achieved in such poems. The article will deal with a coherent group of poems by Antjie Krog. 'Die Jerusalemgangers', in a volume titled 'Jerusalemgangers' 1985). It consists of eight different poems grouped into three sections. An attempt will be made to identify the signifying role of the poet's response to the Biblical imagery. The reader's response to these poems is likewise influenced by an acquaintance with the Bible. |
