Goodnight Willie Lee, I'll See You in the Morning

by Alice Walker · 1979

+ Want to read

Vivid poems of "breakdown and spiritual disarray." Writing these, Walker says, "led me eventually into a larger understanding of the psyche, and of the world." What finally marks this volume is the strong sense of change and, ultimately, of forgiveness as a part of growth.
