Atrocities Corpses pile up in Tigray as millions flee flies and hunger risking death or worse. Women carry on boney hips and backs scraps of children and home, escape the last house to house cleanse of history swept instead into Sudan’s dusty camps displaced to scratch a living fed turmoil fed atrocity purged of aid not yet culled Click on the file below to listen to the poem: 
 Elizabeth Black is a painter and poet living in Northern Virginia who exhibits and publishes her work widely. She recently retired from 40 years of nursing, many of those years working with the indigenous and subsistent farmers in developing countries. In comments about her relationship to food issues Elizabeth said, "who would guess that nursing would lead me to identify and study nutrient values of foods found the tropics or develop chicken and pig cooperatives? Food is always an issue in health care in poor and wealthy countries.”
