Revolutionary Petunias: Poetry

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.

Good Night, Willie Lee, I’ll See You in the Morning

Vivid poems of “breakdown and spiritual disarray.” Writing these, Walker says, “led me eventually into a larger understanding of the psyche, and of the world.” What finally marks this volume is the strong sense of change and, ultimately, of forgiveness as a part of growth.
