Vivid poems of "breakdown and spiritual disarray." Writing these, Walker says, "led me eventually into a larger understanding of the psyche, and of the world." What finally marks this volume is the strong sense of change and, ultimately, of forgiveness as a part of growth.
I first read this in high school and I fell in love with her words and the power that she has in her writting. After going through a difficult break up... I re-read her poems and was filled again with her honesty and strenght and I can unclench my teeth long enough to tell him so.
True to Her Spirit

Alice Walker not only writes astounding books, but her poetry is real, familiar, and powerful. This book was originally published in 1975, one of her earlier works, but rings with the same truth today as then. Soft-spoken, Walker nonetheless is sure of her truths, and diligent in communicating them. Love poems for her people, for all people, and for the men she has been accused of hating. Thanks, Alice, for your spirit.
