Product Description

Alice Walker has always turned to poetry to express some of her most personal and deeply felt concerns. She has said that her poems-even the happy ones-emerge from an accumulation of sadness, when she stands again “in the sunlight.” “[This collection] has two fine strengths-a music that comes along sometimes, as sad and cheery as a lonely woman’s whistling-and Miss Walker’s own tragicomic gifts” (New York Times Book Review).

Amazon.com Review
However much we like Alice Walker's fictional characters, it's still a treat when she speaks in her own voice, whether in essays or poems. The poems in this work show the impressive range that voice has, from the outrage of "First, They Said," to the quiet and lovely "These Mornings of Rain," to poems about family. Walker makes a lyrical world big enough to seamlessly weave these disparate parts together.

dull2
I was rather diappointed in this collection. A few of the poems are very nice, but overall the work is bland and dull. The language is so pedestrian. This seems like a real half-hearted attempt at writing. I am sure Walker can do better.

Wonderful!!!!!!5
All I can say is wonderful!!! This is one of my very favorite books. Being white,I have not always been as non-racist as I should have. This book will make you look at things in a whole new way, as Alice Walker explores her feelings of Africa, Love, Poetry, Predujust, and the leftover tears of blacks. Hold on. Surely the Earth can be saved for us who insist on love.
