This first collection of poetry from Ms. Norris was inspired by the author's love of Black Poetry. Ms. Norris is the Administrator of the groundbreaking, and currently retired, therevolutionarypoetssociety website. From the book's back cover: "Spectrum of a Colored Existence" represents the way words paint pictures to tell a story. My poems are an array of color from the darkest hue to the lightest of color. It also represents the way I look at life, through a kaleidoscope that God has blessed me with. I hope that you enjoy the journey.
