>I recently had a poem of mine published in my school's online newspaper as
>a podcast. It is about Haitian workers in the Dominican Republic, which I
>have been studying this year through Global Studies Initiative, a program
>through which I will travel to the Dominican Republic this summer for two
>weeks. I think the bateys of the Dominican Republic need to be talked
>about more because very few people know about what they are or what it is
>like for a Haitian in the Dominican Republic, where mass deportations of
>Haitians and Haitian-Dominicans occur regularly. So if you'd like to read
>the poem or hear it read, below are the links.
