A Poem Traveled Down My Arm: Poems and Drawings by Alice Walker

4.0

it is hard to conceive of this as a true collection but there are certainly some gems. poem “21” is powerful and deeply resonates with me. i have always admired the ways in which walker bridges a deep concern and connection to nature with a keen critique of societal ills. walker strikes a fine balance between raising the reader’s awareness and imploring the reader to reflect on their complicity in those ills. somehow walker accomplishes this without being overly didactic. it’s a cute quick read that packs a gentle punch to encourage us all to do better.
