    Good Points: Excellent read. Thought-provoking poetry about life, nature, power, politics and world affairs. Very moving. A poetic tribute to "Gil Scott Heron" with a foreword from "The Last Poets."

    General comments: Mark T Watson, Ordinary Guy - This is page after page of challenging and thought-provoking contemporary poetry. True to the teachings of his Master, the legendary Gil Scott Heron, Mark T. Watson emerges as one of a new generation of young black poets wanting to take the struggle to the next level. Born in Liverpool, brought up by the care system, straddling two worlds, that of a white Mother and a black Father, or a seaman writing about he world he sees and a student of Gil Scott Heron travelling the world with his poetic mentor writing as he goes along, Mark masterfully weaves all of these strands together to afford the reader something one could only describe as a totally new approach to contemporary poetry. His yearning to get back to Africa, his distaste for so-called democracy which denies him the basic freedoms it purports to defend, his aversion to war-mongers and his love of the beauty of creation all flow in a rhythmic cascade of poetic expression that would surely make his mentor proud. A must read collection.
