Africa Written Down: A Poetic Journey is a collection documenting travels to South Africa, East Africa and West Africa. The blending and composite of people and places engage the imagination. The narratoras observations and participation in many areas, whether urban area or rural, carry a pace of their own. In some pieces, there is a filter provided by intentional omission of the locale while in other instances the place is noted for reasons that appear obvious. Themes from art, ritual, politics, and education and what it means to travel with the eye of a reporter and the ear of a poet are presented. What is evident is the authoras passion for the journey to her aBeloved Africa, a which for her is one translation of amarriage within marriage.a This is an opportunity to participate in an African poetic journey.
