Three wrers at the top of their game—Deha Philyaw; Jason Reynolds and Angela Flournoy—give praise for what Gayl Jon' work has given. * gayl jones palmares *

They were peers, and Gayl’s life has been a harvt of and homage to Lucille’s. Gayl Jon would achieve great regnn yet follow directly her mother’s footsteps: a quiet terr geni.

She told me that childhood neighbors scribe Gayl and her brother as never playg wh the other kids, though they sometim passed a ball over the fence between the Jon home and theirs. Gayl Jon vised her grandmother there often and benefed om both a formally ted muny and a rich body of fay lore, cludg stori about a great-grandfather who found a settlement after Renstctn bearg his name, Warthumtown. When me to high school, however, Lucille sent Gayl and her brother to be among the handful of Black stunts at Henry Clay High School.

There, acrdg to an English teacher, Sue Anne Allen, Gayl was a iendls stunt of exceptnal tellect.

PALMAR: BOOK SUMMARY AND REVIEWS OF PALMAR BY GAYL JON

Her Spanish teacher and mentor, Anna Dodd, alerted the tablished wrer and Lexgton native Elizabeth Hardwick about Gayl. Hardwick turn facilated Gayl’s admissn to the small, ele Connecticut College, where she studied wh the distguished poets William Meredh and Robert Hayn.

This is what I me to know, too, as I pored over fdg aids of multiple librari, lookg for Gayl Jon. I found through the Connecticut College special llectns that Jon rrpond regularly wh Meredh, and found that he, a gay whe Frost scholar, was a part of a Black lerary muny.

” My first enunter wh Gayl Jon was through “Corregidora.

GAYL JON’S EPIC OF LIBERATN

Gayl Jon answered back: Hope won’t get out of the funk of history that we live wh today. ” Gayl Jon was not jt shy, but her shyns ma her difficult his ey. As Tarana Burke, the founr of #MeToo and thor of the newly released memoir “UnBound, ” said, “Like Ntozake Shange and Maya Angelou, Gayl Jon mak you s the realy of sexual vlence the liv of Black women, not jt the moment but the nflictg emotns, the guilt, the shame, and even the attachment survivors n feel to those who have harmed them.

She highlighted what was, her view, the “very real, upsettg acplishment of Gayl Jon this, her send novel: sister misrmatn about women — about women, general, about black women particular, and pecially about young black girls forced to al wh the sexual, moltg vlatns of their mds and bodi by their fathers, their mothers’ boyiends, their s and uncl. Gayl Jon met her partner, Bob Higgs, when she was an assistant profsor at the Universy of Michigan the late 1970s. But they moved to her mother’s hoe after Gayl’s father died.

Bob and Gayl red for her. Gayl ntued to wre but ma virtually no public appearanc. Gayl wrote them as Lucille was dyg of throat ncer.

GAYL JON WROTE THE FUTURE

He and Gayl were outraged that a lol hospal claimed medil guardianship over Lucille. Attuned to the history of medil racism, Gayl and Bob held the hospal rponsible when Lucille died on March 20, 1997, believg that Lucille had been neglected. Gayl was taken to ctody for several days.

I was thrilled and also felt a b of disbelief at havg bee someone who would be asked to pronounce on a new Gayl Jon book. A versn of this article appears prt on, Page 48 of the Sunday Magaze wh the headle: Searchg for Gayl Jon. Lerally any samba school Brazil and you would get more of an accurate history lson than whatever Gayl Jon do this book.
