New York, NY: Simon & Schuster (2018)

New in hardback.

Alice Walker, author of the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning The Color Purple crafts a bilingual collection of powerful and passionate poetry.

Traversing a vast array of topics ranging from the beauty of baking frittatas to the liberating world of activism, Ms. Walker draws out the honest and universal truths of life within gorgeous lines of verse, proving once again that she is, quite simply, a masterful writer and an inspiration to millions around the world.

There has not been a major book of Alice Walker poems published by a main-stream publishing house in over 10 years. Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart will be packaged with a gorgeous aesthetic, perfect for gift-giving and a keep-sake item for all readers. Cuban poet Manuel Garcia Verdecia has translated all poems within the book.
