Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful Reprint edition

Alice Walker has always turned to poetry to express some of her most personal and deeply felt concerns. She has said that her poems-even the happy ones-emerge from an accumulation of sadness, when she stands again ?in the sunlight.? ?[This collection] has two fine strengths-a music that comes along sometimes, as sad and cheery as a lonely woman?s whistling-and Miss Walker?s own tragicomic gifts?
