A Mask of plenty

By Erik Bang Boesen

Sometimes
The memories are sneaking
Out of my eyes
And runs down on my cheeks.

Erik Bang Boesen is born the 4th of July 1947 in a little town, Nykøbing F. in Denmark and is a well-known author. He has sailed the seven oceans of the world, and stayed twenty years in South Africa.
This book is his first publishing in the English language. It is not quite clear if the book is an autobiography hidden in prose-poems, as it includes all spheres of life, from drama, alcohol abuse and sadness to love and happiness. This is really a powerful book.

He has among other things in his very exciting life, sailed for 10 years as an officer marine engineer in the merchant navy with the Danish worldwide shipping company A. P. Moller, Maersk Line.

In 1976 he and his family immigrated to South Africa where Erik got work as a master instrument technician at one of the world’s largest Steelworks ISCOR situated in Newcastle in the sub-tropical Kwazulu-Natal province. However, he left this position after 10 years to become a Trade Union Boss and later assistant General Secretary in AEU (Amalgamated Engineering Union of South Africa.

He was here, among other things, member of the metalworkers Council, the wood and Forrest workers council, the associated sugar board, the metalworker’s apprentices board and he was eventually appointed to the national peace committee together with at number other important persons, such as Mr. Nelson Mandala, His Royal Highness Zulu Prince Gatsha Buthelezi,and Prime Minister F. W. de Klerk. It was this committee that led to the first multiracial election in 1994.
