Come take an African safari with us!
Exquisitely photographed, Into the Okavango is a ninety-two poem, five-hundred photograph memoir 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 painful secrets of her childhood, not often visited. Rounding Cape Point by helicopter proves to be a triumphant catharsis for the poet. Readers who love adventure, the lure of undiscover'd country, the face of death will like the purposely simple, fast-reading, revelatory poems—creative memories—and find two journeys worth their taking.
