The Canzine Portraits: Danila Botha

Next up in our illustrations of Canzine performers, we bring you Danila Botha – a long-time Broken Pencil favourite – who will be reading at the Toronto Canzine, October 23 at the 918 Bathurst Centre.

Danila Botha originally hails from Johannesburg, South Africa, and currently lives in Halifax. Her first book, a collection of short stories entitled Got No Secrets was released by Tightrope Books last spring. She’s completed her second work, Too Much on the Inside (Tightrope Books), set for release this September and has just rounded up a third, a collection of short stories with some poetry. In short, she’s busy. But you can catch her reading at this year’s Canzine so stop on by.
