The collected poems of the Pulitzer Prize winning author of THE COLOR PURPLE.
'I am the woman
offering two flowers
whose roots
are twin.
Justice and Hope
Hope and Justice
Let us begin'
Alice Walker has been writing poetry since the summer of 1965, when she travelled to East Africa and began the collection ONCE while sitting beneath a tree facing Mount Kenya.
Encompassing the collections ONCE, REVOLUTIONARY PETUNIAS & OTHER POEMS, GOOD NIGHT WILLIE LEE I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING, and HORSES MAKE A LANDSCAPE LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL as well as other poems, this is a wonderful, surprising, entertaining collection that offers a historical perspective on the evolution of both the poetry itself and the political and spiritual inspiration behind it.
The collected poems of the Pulitzer Prize winning author of THE COLOR PURPLE.
