Beneath a Rhodesian Sky

BENEATH A RHODESIAN SKY

The Rhodesian countryside has many moods, an infinite variety of faces. in striking contradiction of the image held by many who have not visited the land between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers, Rhodesia is not avast expanse of near emptiness, of unrelieved sun-brown bush and burning skies.

The dust and heat are there, some of the time and in some parts. But so are the gracious lakes, the fresh woods and pastures, the cool streams and high mountain peaks. The illustrations in Beneath a Rhodesian Sky show this diversity. They reveal the grandeur, the beauty and the freshness of a country still unspoiled, the true nature of a relatively little-known part of Africa.

Rhodesian poetry has, over the years, earned for itself an international reputation. The works of men like Noel Brettell, Henry Pot, Colin Style, Hugh Finn and Douglas Livingstone have been published in England, America and elsewhere and have been acclaimed by serious critics. The acclaim is deserved, for these poets write about Africa--about Rhodesia--in a uniquely evocative way. They have a deep and affectionate knowledge of the country, they have felt the "tears of heaven" on their faces, heard the jackal's outcast cry, sensed the immense and brooding spirit in the Hills of Metopes. Each color photographs is introduced by a stanza or two of this fine poetry.
