Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth: New Poems by Alice Walker

“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.
