Peter Blum was a controversial Afrikaans poet, born on May 4, 1925, and died on December 5, 1990. He opposed apartheid, leading to his South African citizenship being denied twice. Blum arrived in South Africa at age twelve and was multilingual. He published various articles and gained recognition for his poetry, winning the Reina Prinsen Geerligs prize in 1956. His notable essay, 'Hoe ek dekadent geword het,' was published in 1956. Disillusioned, he turned away from Afrikaans culture and moved to London, where he lived in solitude and poverty until his death.
