dc.description.abstractWilma Stockenström's poetry is suspiscious of the arrogance of language. It is a poetry turned against itself. In this article Stockenström's poem number 25 in Monsterverse will be used as a basis from which to discuss the way in which her philosophy of language influences her view of metaphysics. Her views on the nature of language will be compared with those of Friedrich Nietzsche. It will become clear that there is much common ground in the thoughts of these two poets, especially in their aversion to Western metaphysics, logocentrism and the blind belief that language can give access to a reality outside itself. At the end of this article it will be evident that Stockenström not only criticises Western metaphysics, but also proposes a radical way of being that has much in common with what Nietzsche called the Dionysian insight.
