I read this when it came out, but for some reason I took it off the shelf again and am re-reading. It's poetry, and quick-read poetry at that, so it's like an interlude until I chose my next novel.
Feb 5: Not my favorite Walker book. Only two of the poems really stood out for me. The better of these was "Grace."

This is the third Alice Walker poetry book that I have tried. Just not clicking with her poetry.

I didn’t connect with any of the poems and they all felt the same to me.

This was a disappointment. It honestly feels like the stuff I wrote in high school, when I thought myself all worldly and grown-up, except I had already developed enough self-awareness to know that my "poems" weren't fit to share with the world.

Read it in one sitting. Short, simple poems. Nothing inherently wrong with them but they weren’t the style of poetry I prefer. I’m partial to longer narrative works while these were short, simplistic and full of haiku-like imagery.
