Dove on the Distant Oaks

Robert Frost said, ÒA poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom,Ó but like a birth, some poems begin in pain before the delight arrives. Such are the poems in this simple collection by Diane C. Jones. Her delicate words reflect the fragile path she has walked since the loss of her son and capture the pain, the beginning of hope, and the surrender to comfort that she has experienced with a startling clarity.
