ALICE WALKER

* WINNER of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work *
 

Alice Walker, author of the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning The Color Purple—“an American novel of permanent importance” (San Francisco Chronicle)—crafts a bilingual collection that is both playfully imaginative and intensely moving.

Presented  in both English and Spanish, Alice Walker shares a timely collection of  nearly seventy works of passionate and powerful poetry that bears  witness to our troubled times, while also chronicling a life well-lived.  From poems of painful self-inquiry, to celebrating the simple beauty of  baking frittatas, Walker offers us a window into her magical, at times  difficult, and liberating world of activism, love, hope and, above all,  gratitude. Whether she’s urging us to preserve an urban paradise or  behold the delicate necessity of beauty to the spirit, Walker encourages  us to honor the divine that lives inside all of us and brings her  legendary free verse to the page once again, demonstrating that she  remains a revolutionary poet and an inspiration to generations of fans.
