Alice Walker books

A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer

by: Howard Zinn, Erin Cressida Wilson, Michael Eric Dyson, Alice Walker, Edward Albee, Maya Angelou, Abiola Abrams, Suheir Hammad
I read this book at the gym and found that I really wished that I had a pack of tissue with me. Ensler's anthology is at times painful to read- the vignettes are harrowing and will leave the reader with a sense of sadness.

I found that I kept on leafing to the back of the book to read the contributors' bios. I wish that the bios were after each poem/essay. This book is not a sunny, fun read, but a heavy one.

The audience for this book is both a lay and academic audience.

Meridian

by: Alice Walker
"Meridian" is set in post civil rights black America but reaches back deeply at least two generations, and sometimes as far back as 1800's slavery. Ms. Walker's language is incandescent, her story incendiary, her characters thoughtful and deeply provoking. Like when I read James Baldwin for the first time, I was moved to racial rage many times, and I learned so much about how it was (is) for people of colour, and for those who loved them. I especially loved the writing, clear and sparkling, and the treatises on women and child bearing and relationships and race were point blank and heart breaking, displaying a kind of progressiveness far beyond most women I know.
