A chapbook of poetry that will strike chords--both major and minor--with women of all ages.
From the Acknowledgements:
Poetry is such a personal thing that every poem, every line, could be attributed to the blending of one life--past or present-- with another. I thank all those lives who have touched mine, even the ones who brought sadness, envy, anger, and illness to my door for those are the ones from whom I learned the most, gleaned the greatest lessons.
Love and thanks go to family, friends and teachers:

Excerpt
"An ancient
with no teeth pumps my gas,
puts me on the road
to Birmingham without a map
because, I’m sure,
he cannot read, his voice
a song finer than Foster
or B’rer Rabbit fables
read to me by mother
who never thought I’d see
a black man or the night sky
as Hapshutset saw it...
