Book Image

By Alice Walker — 1973

These poems are about revolutionaries and lovers—about how, both in revolution and in love, loss of trust and compassion robs us of hope. They are also about (and for) those few embattled souls who remain painfully committed to beauty and to love, even while facing the firing squad.
