Walking, Falling is Kelwyn Sole's seventh collection of poetry. It extends and deepens themes that emerged in his earlier books: love and human relationships, the exposing of false and clichéd perspectives in our socio-political life, our relationship as South Africans to land and landscape. Rustum Kozain has written about his work: "Whether the theme is the end of a relationship or the murder of immigrants, there is the calm look of analysis, a voice, like a conscience, that threatens to disturb the reader's complacency, but a voice simultaneously gentle with empathy and sincerity.
