Poet and published author Flow Wellington has recently released her second collection of poetry book that gives an insight into her drastic relocation from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg.
In the read that she titled: Gau-trained: Poems and other stories, Flow shares honest accounts of what it took for her to make it in the big city of gold since her move in 2011; and she also gives tips of the dos and don’ts to new arrivals who have recently made or are thinking of living in Johannesburg.
Wellington says she wrote this book because Johannesburg has a completely different lifestyle that no one warns or teaches you about.
“Gauteng trains you in a sense to be someone different because the city is so different. When I got to Joburg, I thought life would be glamorous but life happened and that is what the book is about.”
