NEW YEAR BE COMING
-A Gullah Year-
PUBLISHED BY ALBERT WHITMAN & COMPANY
As these delightful poems of the
year show, the Gullah language remains alive in parts of the
American south, even three hundred years after the Gullah people
were brought as slaves from Africa. To read these poems in Gullah
is to see the seasons in a new way.
Katherine Boling, a native of South
Carolina, eas inspired because "Gullah's musical cadence
and colorful expressions make poetry of everyday speech.
