Mario's work has featured in many publications over the years and his writing - prose and poetry - has been critically acclaimed thanks to its unfailing honesty and the warmth of his poetic voice.

NOW AVAILABLE...
Banana Crates and Wire Mesh spans several decades and sheds Mario d'Offizi's unique and often brutally honest light on a wide range of subjects, from the taboo to the mundane. Mario published his first poetry at an early age, but Banana Crates and Wire Mesh is his first anthology - it's a book that brings a lifetime of observations on the minutiae of South African life to the fore.
