The Laterite Road - An African Travel Odyssey (NEW)

TYPE: Poetry
DESCRIPTION & COMMENTS: The Laterite Road is a poetic appreciation of Africa's historical journey, its triumphs and troubles set against its borderless geographical highpoints. It glorifies the tenacity of Africa's peoples, ignoring political parasites.

The Laterite Road, the ubiquitous red dusty or muddy road leading from and to almost every African home, is a metaphor for community and unity, suffering and survival. The Laterite Road is the highway linking, the thread binding, Africa and Africans in play and poverty, hunger and hope.

On The Laterite Road, criss-cross Africa, from the Pyramids to Kilimanjaro to Tabletop Mountain to Goree Isle to Djibouti. Drink from the Limpopo, shower in the Victoria Falls and navigate the Nile. The Laterite Road is timeless, ancient and modern, stretching from ancestral Turkana Boy to Apartheid to today's Arab Spring. The Laterite Road clocks up 20,000Km marked by 100Km kilometre stones doubling as headstones with a name or event honouring living and dead great and unknown Africans and Africanophils. In The Laterite Road learn of 'foolball's' power and Chelsea and Arsenal football fans dying on the same losing side to the applause of coup bullets.

The kilometre stones also help readers recognise, return to and recommend a favourite kilometre stone stanza.

Hope's Wristwatch

TYPE: Short Stories and Poems
DESCRIPTION & COMMENTS: Whether in poetry or prose, the primary preoccupation of Tony Marinho's art has always been to highlight, and to comment on the numerous ills that plague our contemporary world.

Not for him, it seems, the luxury or indulgence,, of 'art for art's sake', when everywhere you look, we are assailed by a multitude of problems - HIV/AIDS, War, Poverty, Corruption, Prostitution, Child Slavery, etc. etc.

The result is that Marinho's works are invested with a fierce urgency and an absence of ambiguity; and it is these qualities which make it difficult for the reader to be indifferent to his essays, short stories and poetry. In this brilliant new collection of poems and short stories, Marinho again confirms that in his art, he is not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve.
