Jeremy is a world-renowned poet and political activist. He started writing poetry as a little boy growing up in Simon’s Town, and continued during his time in prison as a political prisoner, and persisted even after his release. He has used his poems to highlight and make sense of prevailing circumstances in his life and in the state of the country as a whole. In his 2006 poem titled; More Than A Casual Contact, Jeremy juxtaposed narratives and metaphors around South Africa’s past struggles against apartheid and its current struggle against forces working to destabilise its economic, social, and political progress. This is poignantly highlighted in this excerpt that reads; “Slovo the person (not Joe Slovo the fire-devastated squatter camp) wasn’t a poet, more a raconteur with a string of jokes about socialism’s fallibilities. But Neruba was. Brecht, Hikmet, Mayakovsky, Eluard, Ritsos - all communists (all male) ... but wonderful poets. Because of some inherent virtue in the cause? Or to break a calamitous silence in the party line? Is the poetry the irruption of the suppressed? Or is it a holding onto the faith? Is poetry a jailbreak of memory from the state archive?...”
