Aliona Gibson Is Beautiful!

I recently learned of a personal attack on a talented African American writer Aliona Gibson by a woman from South Africa, who, among other things, called Ms. Gibson "ugly."  Ms. Gibson has published books, served in the Peace Corps, and worked to make our world more mearly the way God wants it to be.  Please support Aliona Gibson.

Remembering the Homeland, 1964

Riding across the Wiltshire plain
in Uncle Art's sedan,
I drew a map of England on my mind.
The sun painted
ancestral fields, Crayola-green.
 
I sketched myself in shadows
behind a Druid stone.
