Into the Okavango: The Africa Poems and Photographs

by Marianne Harding Burgoyne

Exquisitely photographed, Into the Okavango is a ninety-two-poem, five-hundred-photograph coffee-table book about Africa's animals, taking its readers on twenty-three days of safaris through Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. As the safaris get more dangerous, the camps more remote, the poet embarks on a darker, shadow journey to the sad, painful places of her soul, not often visited. Rounding Cape Point by helicopter proves to be a triumphant catharsis for the poet.
