Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart:Poems by Alice Walker
259 pages
Words creating pictures so tangible in their pain the reader can feel it through the pages. Alice Walker is a wonderful writer but here she shares her deep love for poetry using it to reach out to friend and foe across the world, across the centuries across psychological bonds that leave the reader feeling the shackles, the fear and tears of our fellow humans throughout the globe that often seem so far away we can't grasp their reality but Alice Walker takes your hand to join her on a journey to the unsung heroes in all cultures and the injustices visited on all peoples. She enlightened me on so many things that are taking place that I had no idea about. Let her enlighten you too. Her poetry sings a new song. Very moving. I recommend this poetry to the open minded who the message is meant for be they young or old.
