Patricia Jabbeh Wesley and her family fled their native country after suffering tremendous privations and violence during the bloody Liberian Civil War at the end of the 20th Century. These poems are more than the story of one woman who carried her children over dead bodies in the streets where she lived, who fled bombs and constant gunfire, who was locked with her daughters in an internment camp where she witnessed every kind of crime against women. Wesley did more than survive. She helped other women. She wrote. The River Is Rising is more than a collection of poems, it is a story of family, customs, struggle, survival, witness, and love. Originally published by Autumn House Press in 2007, Press 53 returns this important book to print as part of its Silver COncho Poetry Series, edited by Pamela Uschuk and William Pitt Root. | Author: Patricia Jabbeh Wesley | Publisher: Press 53 | Publication Date: Aug 15, 2023 | Number of Pages: 124 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1950413594 | ISBN-13: 9781950413591

“Contrary to popular wisdom, American Quakers did not first appear in Pennsylvania, the Quaker State, in 1682. Rather they appeared in 1655 in Virginia. In the 330-odd years thereafter, the Friendly Virginians, as I have come to call them, have stood for peace and against violence, for religious freedom, civil rights and women’s rights. They have striven to end war, change the penal system and aid Native Americans. Their world view has affected their lives and characters and also, as you read, the ways of the larger society.” *From the Preface. Chapters include: The Quaker Way Comes to Virginia, 1655–1660 which opens on a street corner in the city of London in the summer of 1654; Virginia’s Quakers and the Right to Worship as One Wishes, 1660–1663; In Which the Truth is Crushed to Earth, 1664–1677; The Friendly Virginians Become Somewhat Respectable, 1677–1700; At Last within the Law, 1700–1733; West of the Blue Ridge, 1733–1750; The Quaker Way Alters Course, 1750–1763; Farewell, Britannia, 1763–1775; The Friendly Virginians and the American Revolution, 1775–1781; After So Many Ages, 1782–1800; To the Westward Waters, 1800–1820; The Blood of Christ, 1820–1833; On Laying Down Virginia Yearly Meeting, 1833–1850; O, Virginia! Virginia! 1850–1865; They Leap the Hedge, 1865–1900; Thee Interests Me, 1900–1950; and, I Think of the Great Work, 1950–Now.

Indigenous women wear red as a powerful symbol of both mourning and defiance. The color red, vibrant and bold, represents the lives of the countless missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls whose voices have been silenced. It is said that red is the only color spirits can see, and by wearing it, these women call back the spirits of those lost, ensuring they are not forgotten. Each time they wear red, it is an act of resistance against the erasure of their sisters, mothers, daughters, and friends. It is a statement that their lives matter, that their stories will not be buried in silence. The red fabric clings to their bodies like the memory of those taken, its deep hue symbolizing both the blood that has been shed and the enduring strength that flows through their veins.  For these women, wearing red is a way to keep the memory of the missing alive, to demand justice, and to honor those who have been stolen from them. It is a visible cry for recognition, a plea for the world to see the pain that has too long been ignored. When they wear red, they carry the weight of their ancestors, the grief of their communities, and the unbreakable will to protect the generations yet to come.
