Dark Under Kiganda Stars - Lilah Hegnauer - Bog

Poetry. This book is a startling lyrical account of a young Catholic American student's summer in Uganda, where she taught English to adults and assisted at a medical clinic in a remote country village. Written while the author was still in college, it is an astonishing debut, richly musical and descriptive, confident, unpretentious and bursting with new experience: love, identity, religious faith and the complex collisions of culture and language.
