Punk poet, author, actor, sage and rock and roll rager Henry Rollins returns to the road, microphone in hand, for The Long March tour starting in January 2012.

Rollins' latest talking tour takes him through Europe from January 12 through mid-February before he returns stateside for, quite literally, a long March of tour dates starting March 1 at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson.

He will follow up the U.S. dates, which wrap March 30 in San Luis Obispo, CA, with two dozen shows in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in April and May.

Despite economic meltdowns and political unrest all over the global landscape on a broad scale, expect Henry to bring the human (and often humorous) side to light during The Long March as he shares stories from the road less traveled – including recent visits to North Korea, Mongolia, Bhutan, Vietnam, India, Tibet, Sudan, Uganda, Haiti and Cuba.

Rollins' relentless wanderlust is also the focus of his latest book, Occupants (Chicago Review Press), his first book of photos from his travels. Penetrating observations and incisive essays accompany the photos, as he juxtaposes the disturbing legacy of war and conflict with the hope, bravery, and kindness of humans around the world; the tragic effects of hunger and poverty with the strength and beauty of those living in dire circumstances.
