From the joy of a fairy tale marriage to the pain of domestic abuse and falling out of love, from being young to growing old, from being black in America to being white in America, from the North to the South, Dianne Black Jones has experienced and observed many contrasts in her life, both the highs and the lows. Mrs. Jones eloquently translates these contrasts, and her observations and feelings about them, into the diversity of poems in this book, a marvelous body of work which she offers humbly as Flowers for Your Pain.
