The poem about Frederick Douglas expands to include the other torch-bearers for freedom. The poem “Black Woman” brings to the forefront the pain of birthing an innocent child into slavery. “Boston Tea” details how the ladies of the DAR are served by one who did not benefit from the American revolution. There are too many jewels to speak of all of them but “Resignation” succinctly profiles how helpless people were to build any kind of life with the little left to them. An essential book for one’s library.
