In June, the poet was approached by Irti Noor of True Dreamster who asked if she would like to have her poems featured in her upcoming anthology.
According to Noor, Ursula’s write-ups were ‘too good’ and that she wanted to publish some of her works.
Departmental head of WK du Plessis’s senior phase Tania Jansen said the school is eagerly awaiting to see the anthology on the shelves of bookshops.
“You are a star, Ursula, and we are so proud of you,” said Jansen.
