At the end of July I approached Harry at Reddits Poetry and asked him ‘do you want to put the rhino appeal out as a blog?’ When I followed it up with ‘and it won’t cost anything’ the answer was unequivocal, yes.
So we spent a couple of one hour sessions in early August putting this blog together and the result is what you see.
I wanted to make it look ‘classic’ African so chose an iconic backdrop of acacias and grasslands. The original is a sunset picture that I took in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya. You can see it in the slideshow above with the rhino featured in the page header. It was quite tricky getting a rhino image of the right dimensions and with the right colours but we solved it by cropping the rhino I photographed at Tsolwana Nature Reserve, near Queenstown here in the Eastern Cape.
For Rhino in a Shrinking World 
Roddy’s ideas and expertise have been invaluable in putting this blog together and you can see how good it looks. When the anthology is finally published, its success – and I have no doubt it will be a huge success – will be due in no small measure to his unflagging enthusiasm and support. Thank you, Roddy Fox!
Hi – this looks awesome! Has the book been published and is it available in South Africa?
Hi Justine – The book is just about to be published (the launch will happen well before Christmas) and will certainly be available in SA. It is published by Poets Printery, East London (see their link at bottom of the page) and can be purchased either through their website or, if you prefer, directly from me. Thank you for your interest – please spread the word! Harry
