Alice Walker 
Revolutionary Petunias [EPUB ebook] 
And Other Poems

National Book Award Finalist: The love poems of an author caught up in a hopeful and sometimes violent upheaval.  When Alice Walker published her second collection of poems in 1976, she had spent the previous decade deeply immersed in the civil rights movement. In these verses are her most visceral reactions to a moment in history that would shape the country, and that she herself influenced through words and advocacy. In hymns to ancestors, passionate polemics, and laments for lost possibilities, Walker addresses the problems of the past while keeping an eye on the possibilities of the future. Even in the midst of the call for change, these poems reveal a deep yearning for individual connection to others, as well as a deeply personal connection to nature.    This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
