Poems by Jeni Couzyn
Engravings by Cecil Skotnes

Homecoming is Jeni Couzyn's personal account of her return to South Africa, with pictures by leading South African artist Cecil Skotnes. It begins by responding to a series of paintings by the artist of the Brandberg, a mountain in Namibia full of cave paintings.

The book goes on to explore themes of memory, forgetting and exile, in a landscape that records both its tragic history and more contemporary pain.

A signed and numbered special edition of 100 is available, with proceeds to go towards the Bethesda Arts Centre, a community arts project in the South African village of Nieu Bethesda.
