No small accomplishment in a world as challenging as this one.”\n— from the preface\n\nI was born to grow,\nalongside my garden of plants,\npoems\nlike\nthis one\n\nSo writes Alice Walker in this new book of poems, poems composed over the course of one year in response to joy and sorrow both personal and global: the death of loved ones, war, the deliciousness of love, environmental devastation, the sorrow of rejection, greed, poverty, and the sweetness of home. The poems embrace our connections while celebrating the joy of individuality, the power we each share to express our truest, deepest selves. Beloved for her ability to speak her own truth in ways that speak for and about countless others, she demonstrates that we are stronger than our circumstances. As she confronts personal and collective challenges, her words dance, sing, and heal.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1608681882\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1608681882.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walker, Alice\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
