​DM (AKA Diane) Denton (né DiGiacomo) is a native of Western New York. Her novels and short stories are poetry in prose, inspired by music, art, classic literature, nature, the contradictions of the human spirit, and wanders into the more obscure corners of the past.
     Her educational journey took her from a theater and communications major at SUNY Brockport to English literature and history studies at Rosary Hill College (now Daemen College) Amherst, NY, and Wroxton College, England. She stayed in the UK for 16 years in a small village with yellow-stone thatched cottages, a duck pond, a twelfth-century church, and a Jacobean Manor, surrounded by the beautiful hills, woods, and fields of the Oxfordshire countryside.

The Dove Upon Her Branch
​A Novel Portrait
​ of Christina Rossetti
​


​Too late for love, too late for joy,
Too late, too late!
You loiter'd on the road too long,
You trifled at the gate:
The enchanted dove upon her branch
Died without a mate;
The enchanted princess in her tower
Slept, died, behind the grate;
Her heart was starving all this while
You made it wait.

from The Bride Song by Christina Rossetti​​

Christina Rossetti comes to us
​ as one of those splendid stars that are so far away
they are seen only at rare intervals.

Christina Rossetti focused her thought
on the beautiful object and at the best angle,
so the picture she brings us
is nobly ordered and richly suggestive.

from Christina Rossetti by Elbert Hubbard​
