Postcard from South Africa


One of the things I ask of new students registering for the course is that if their writing life is interrupted they stay in touch with me so I know they’re still wanting to write. Lots of students fall by the wayside and I don’t know if it’s because they don’t want to write anymore, or feel downtrodden, or forgot to stay in touch. But not Steve Goldsmith! This is the postcard he sent me from South Africa where he’s been doing voluntary work with rhinos and baboons. Among other things he says, “Table Mountain was a challenging climb but nothing compared to trying to convince an infant baboon not to go to the toilet on my head!” He looks forward to continuing the course on his return.
