 Irene I. Blea, Ph.D

Dr. Blea has a doctorate degree in Sociology. Her latest book, The Feminization of Racism: Promoting Peace in America, contains a critical review of the early feminist movement's failure to make racism a feminist issue, chapters on the social-history and statistics on Native American, African American, Asian women and Chicanas\Latinas. It basically challenges that 9\11 was the first time Americans were terrorized on their own land.                      *Page Updated on: 10/13/2009


This Place

            The winds led them to settle in this place

                        this place of golden sun bathed by rain and snow

                        one year a storm blew different from the ones before

 

            The sky at dusk warned rustling pines of serious things to come

                        heavy storms usually caused most things to bend

                        this time a more threatening message was sent

 

            Some heard strange sounds, the rumblings of the gods

                        it shook loose the aroma that embraced, and

                        held the pine trees firmly to the ground

 

            It hit with embittered cold

                        nothing was untouched

                        wildlife and human, young and old   

 

            When it was over the pines rose

                        standing where they still stand tall

                        strong under golden sunlight all year long     

 

            Where I was born is a sacred place

                        its magnificence stings my eyes

                        beauty, causes tears to run upon my face

 

            I feel and hear things I cannot describe

                        wind gods often lead me to this site

                        this place of rain and snow where pine trees grow

                                    where skies are huge with lots of blue

                                    where my ancestors are buried in the forest floor

                                    this place where I too grew.
