In this dazzling collection, the beloved writer offers over sixty new poems to incite and nurture contemporary activists. Hailed as a \"lavishly gifted writer\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e), Walker imbues her poetry with evocative images, fresh language, anger, forgiveness, and profound wisdom. Casting her poetic eye toward history, politics, and nature, as well as to world figures such as Jimmy Carter, Gloria Steinem, and the Dalai Lama, she is indeed a “muse for our times” (Amy Goodman).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy attentively chronicling the conditions of human life today, Walker shows, as ever, her deep compassion, profound spirituality, and necessary political commitments.
