Art, Photography and Poetry

Burgoyne, Marianne Harding, and Robert H. Burgoyne. Into the Okavango: The Africa Poems and Photographs. Burgoyne & Burgoyne Publishers, Paragon Press, 2005

Into the Okavango is a lavishly illustrated 500-photograph, 92-poem 12-inch by 13-inch coffee table book great for gift-giving. A finalist for four awards for excellence, it takes its readers on 23 days of safaris through Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, detailing first encounters with elephants, cheetahs, lions, leopards, hippopotamuses, crocodiles and more. The four-color photographs include Victoria Falls and Cape Point by helicopter. As the safaris get more dangerous, the camps more remote, the poet embarks on a darker, shadow journey to the sad, painful secrets of her soul not often visited. Rounding Cape Point proves to be a triumphant catharsis for the poet.
