About the book

This listing is for two volumes of Alice Walker's poetry: Revolutionary Petunias and Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful.

Revolutionary Petunias: These poems are about revolutionaries and lovers; about the loss of compassion and trust when hope comes to an end; and about the courage of those who remain committed even in front of the firing squad.

Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful: Walker writes about love, friendship, about her daughter; she writes about racism, about nuclear madness and the threat of world pollution. And time after time she offers us a hope that is not easily won.
