About This Item
New York: Random House, 2003. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Alice Walker. 12mo. Here, 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 Goodness of the Earth", 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 collection of insights and drawings, by turns charming and humorous, provocative and profound, that represent the wisdom of one of our most beloved writers. 153 pages.
