Robert Homem

Robert Homem (born 1972) is a South African poet and publisher. Homem was born in Johannesburg. He edited Something Quarterly and Sun Belly Press, which since 1994 has published writers such as Alan Finlay, Gus Ferguson and Gary Cummiskey. Something Quarterly and Sun Belly Press formed part of the so-called post apartheid poetry revolution in South Africa.

Shortly after the abolishment of apartheid, Homem left South Africa to settle in Europe where he found a passion for garden and pool maintenance. He still dabbles in poetry between mowing lawn and skimming dead insects off water surfaces.
