This book of poetry is designed to gently stir the emotional, spiritual, and humorous senses of the female reader. The title poem, "The Liberation of Aunt Jemima" has been a favor among African Americans, especially the ambitious, striving, independent, accomplished, spiritual, and educated African American woman, since 1992. It expresses how the female descendants of slaves have overcome the negative image of black women set into motion over five centuries ago. This book is a celebration of all female endeavors from godly marriages to single parenting hardships. The author aspires to visit the heart and soul of the conscientious spiritual woman. The poems, however, are not poetic rhetoric to flatter but instead verse and prose of realistic, deep spiritual perspectives, admonitions, praise, and straight talk. Some poems will reach right out and embrace your understanding however there are others in which you must reach inward to grasp the esoteric message especially composed for you.Jones, Richard is the author of 'Liberation of Aunt Jemima A Poetic Tribute to the Spiritual Woman' with ISBN 9780595271542 and ISBN 0595271545.
