The Botsotso Jesters poetry performance group was founded in 1994. After
a few member changes, it solidified in 1996 with the line up that
published this first Botsotso book. The collectively written poems that
provided such powerful performance material are followed by individual
collections of each of the five. Anna Varney's graphics set the tone for
many future books in which the combination of written and visual images
becomes a striking factor.
