Alice Walker
Dear God...I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.
Alice Walker
My great-great-great-grandmother walked as a slave from Virginia to Eatonton, Georgia... It is in memory of this walk that I chose to keep and to embrace my maiden name, Walker.
Alice Walker
In the far upper corner of my altar is a photo of Joan Crawford in her most fierce Mommy Dearest mode, just to remind me of some of the cost of everyone's hard-earned sweetness and light.
Alice Walker
Writing poems is my way of celebrating with the world that I have not committed suicide the evening before.
