“What Will Save Us: The restoration to the cow of her dignity. The restoration to the pig of his intelligence. The restoration to the child of her sacredness. The restoration to the women of her will. The restoration to the man of his tenderness.”

Alice Walker is a legend, and we should look to her wisdom always. This collection, as the name suggests, works through grief to find enduring hope in the goodness of nature, people, and community.

I read this when it came out, but for some reason I took it off the shelf again and am re-reading. It's poetry, and quick-read poetry at that, so it's like an interlude until I chose my next novel.

Feb 5: Not my favorite Walker book. Only two of the poems really stood out for me. The better of these was "Grace."

This is the third Alice Walker poetry book that I have tried. Just not clicking with her poetry.

I didn’t connect with any of the poems and they all felt the same to me.
