1. 1980: Alaide Foppa by Fraser Southey

    comes from the Latin Alida
    meaning small winged one
    fitting name for a lyrical poet
    feminist broadcaster
    protestor

    disappeared
    Guatemala December 19
    1980 aged 66
    presumed murdered
    not flown away

    the day before
    my 20th birthday
    spent getting pissed
    with other radicalized Sussex
    University students

    some act
    others only play
