[Jan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Volume One...means...there is yet more to come! If you like romantic poetry you will enjoy this book. Love, pain and emotion are very evident in the short, well written poems. This book is also filled with short stories that are easy to read. Great little pocket book or travel book. This book is dedicated to Black lesbian women everywhere....but can be enjoyed by straight kindred cousins.
