About the Book
Travel with Diane down haunting roads of unresolved conflicts. Her poems exhibit a fresh and provocative honesty. Her small-town, Catholic-Italian background, help to broaden her experiences, as depicted through her poetry with wit and imagery. Diane often quotes an old Irish proverb: "May we never forget the times worth remembering, nor remember those best forgotten." Perhaps now, she may live by these words.
