    About this ebook

    “Girl Without A Country”, was written during a period of time when my life was completely shattered as the pain, misery and hopelessness of my surroundings in the Cabrini Green Housing Complex in Chicago, left the residents and I feeling completely isolated from the rest of the world. After desperately pleading with the police and the news media to help us in our plight; quietly meeting amongst ourselves and trying to keep the fear that had taken control from showing on our faces; I was inspired to write this collection of poetry. Over a period of years, I added to the collection.
