![Heading: in fancy script, the title of the anthology, "Stranger(s) In A Strange Land"
Cover art: a contribution from Georgia Lythgoe (5 years old at the time) entitled "I am not afraid!", consisting of a drawing of a dragon and 2 new friends in a strange landscape (see text),
The text of Ms. Lythgoe's story: "I am the dragon. I am strange. I'm in a strange land with a green sky and red trees, but I say 'I am not afraid!' because I have friends.
Description of the anthology: "flash fiction and graphic art about and for refugees" [100% of profits would go to groups which work with refugees.]
***
[Not in image]
Another of the over 40 contributions is my poem about a refugee who didn't lose QUITE everything. It's entitled "One Of The Lucky Ones (The Treasure)"
I stand here on a new shore,
My knees trembling.
(Not because I am scared
– Although, I assure you, I am –
But because I have been on that hell-boat,
Crouching, crowded, cramped,
For eleven days.)
I am one of the lucky ones:
I waded ashore.
The soldiers are unloading the unlucky,
Some of whom won’t make it.
(There were others who didn’t make it
Even this far.)
I am one of the lucky ones:
I didn’t need to sell my body
To smirking guards at the borders.
My husband paid for the bribes
And my sea passage…
Though unknowingly. (In short,
I robbed him of what I needed.)
I am one of the lucky ones:
I speak English and we had satellite;
So I know that we aren’t on
The shores of Paradise.
I won’t be crushed by discovering
That all my problems aren’t over.
I know that it’s going to be difficult.
Doesn’t that make me one of the lucky ones?
I am one of the lucky ones:
I carry in this one bundle
The greatest of treasures,
The most valuable contraband.
A Red Cross worker
(Noting my trembling legs)
Offered to take it from me.
But I will not relinquish my burden.
(At least not yet.)
