A Poem Traveled Down My Arm Poems and Drawings Author: Alice Walker In this illuminating book, Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist and acclaimed poet Alice Walker reveals her remarkable philosophy of life. Curiously, this labor of love started with the author’s signature: Faced with the daunting task of providing autographs for multiple copies of one of her poetry collections, Absolute Trust in the Goodn...  more »ess of the Earth, Walker turned an act of repetition into an act of inspiration. For each autograph became something more than a name: a thoughtful reflection, an impromptu sketch, a heartfelt poem. The result is this spontaneous burst of the unexpected. A Poem Traveled Down My Arm is a lovely collection of insights and drawings—by turns charming and humorous, provocative and profound—that represent the wisdom of one of today’s most beloved writers. The essence of Walker’s independent spirit emanates from words and images that are simple but deep in meaning. An empowering approach to life...the inspiration to live completely in the moment...the chance to nurture one’s creativity and peace of mind—all these beautiful elements are evoked by this unusual and original book.  « less Post This Book + Reminder Login | Register ISBN-13: 9781400061631 ISBN-10: 1400061636 Publication Date: 10/28/2003 Pages: 176 Rating: Currently 4.7/5 Stars.  3 4.7 stars, based on 3 ratings Publisher: Random House Book Type: Hardcover Reviews: Member | Amazon | Write a Review
