Burning Butterflies: Poetry About Southern African Flora and Fauna
by Robbie CheadlePublish: Apr 22, 2025Poetry Book Overview
Butterflies are interpreted, inter alia, as symbols of transformation and change, hope and rebirth, spirituality, the soul, creativity, nature, beauty, and resurrection. Faced with the annihilation of much of the planet’s forests, wetlands, and other habitats for wildlife, all the wonderful things that butterflies symbolise are gradually being destroyed.
This book celebrates Southern African flora and fauna, while acknowledging the threats it faces.
