A Hundred Silences is the third collection of poetry by Gabeba Baderoon - recipient of the DaimlerChrysler Award for South African Poetry in 2005. In this new selection of poems, the poet explores how every room has its own silences, its own memories and secrets.

It is an eloquent, tender collection of poetry, affirming Baderoon as one of the most exciting new voices in South African writing.
