W.E.G. Louw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Ewart Gladstone van Wyk Louw, who published (and is almost universally known) as W.E.G. Louw, (born May 31, 1913 in Sutherland, formerly Cape Province, now Northern Cape Province in South Africa; died April 24, 1980 in Stellenbosch, Western Cape Province, South Africa) was an Afrikaans-language poet. He is the younger brother of the poet N.P. van Wyk Louw.
His 1934 collection die ryke dwaas ("The rich fool") is perhaps seen as the start of the Dertigers movement within Afrikaans literature.1
