It's not really possible to put a star rating on most books of poetry - Some resonate, some don't, some are for later, and some I wish I'd read years ago. One I learned by heart so will definitely take that with me, even though - or perhaps because - I've no idea what the last line means. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Alice Walker's first published book collects poems written as a student and on her first visit to AfricaFor readers seeking the origins of Alice Walker's potent, distinctive voice, this collection will provide ample insight. Composed while she was still a student at Sarah Lawrence College in the late 1960s, these poems are already engaged with some of the moral dilemmas that have defined Walker's entire career. Luminous vignettes from her first trip to Africa give way to reflections on the flourishing civil rights movement, while an eye for the transformative power of love and beauty run through all twenty-seven entries. Walker's talents are prodigious, yet it's her pure moral and aesthetic clarity that impress most in this debut work.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
