Reviews
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.

Synopsis
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)., Alice Walker has always turned to poetry to express some of her most personal and deeply felt concerns.

- d***d (183)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExactly the edition of the book I hoped to receive and in good condition. The seller was very helpful in confirming befpre shipping. The packaging was slightly unusual but amongst the most effective I have encountered: shrink wrap then thick brown paper; the result was so strong it was hard to believe it wasn't thick cardboard.
- p***w (614)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIf this is a used book it is like in hot off the press, unread condition!πππ very well taken care of, wrapped in plastic and then brown wrapping. Thank goodness nothing hit or cut the wrapping in shipping. I would suggest boxing booms next time, it would be so worth the extra shipping costto us book collectors. Good and quick responses in messaging, would buy from again.Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen (#186680495938)
- e***b (1146)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA BIG "Thank you" to Katya's...showing photos of the actual item-for-sale helped me track down this elusive 1987 copy. And taking a little extra time to pre-wrap the naked book in clingwrap was greatly appreciated when the package got wet before it arrived; but the book was fine! This buyer also heartily approves of sellers who are willing haggle over price.
