Congrats to Gisele Jermin for winning The Salt Reaper CD prize from the Nehesi House Facebook competition. The knowledge quiz was posted public on October 19, 2011 at Nehesi House, the social network site that promotes the authors, books, and activities of House of Nehesi Publishers.
In photo, Gisele, with her award-winning smile, poses with the poetry/music CD by Lasana Sekou and Angelo Rombley. "After listening to the ‘remnants’ poem on soundcloud.com, Gisele identified correctly the 14 initials framing the remaining colonies in the Caribbean region," said Sekou. The initials, which are also found in the same poem on pg 68 of the book The Salt Reaper – poems form the flats, are: "bdt, bot, bvi, bwi, cpr, dc, dwi, fod, fwi, na, upt, usvi, dom-tom." Can you identify them all?
