Although she grew up in Georgia, she has stated that she often felt displaced there: But I felt in Georgia and on the east coast generally very squeezed. People have so many hang-ups about how other people live their lives. People always want to keep you in a little box or they need to label you and fix you in time and location. I feel a greater fluidity here. People are much more willing to accept that nothing is permanent, everything is changeable so there is freedom and I do need to live where I can be free. —Alice Walker, interview with

Gray I Said to Poetry The Old Men Used to Sing back to the author page back to the PHAT AA POETRY INDEX ALICE WALKER'S POETRY Gray I have a friend who is turning gray, not just her hair, and I do not know why this is so. Is it a lack of vitamin E pantothenic acid, or B-12? Or is it from being frantic and alone? 'How long does it take you to love someone?' I ask her. 'A hot second,' she replies. 'And how long do you love them?' 'Oh, anywhere up to several months.' 'And how long does it take you to get over loving them?' 'Three weeks,' she said, 'tops.' Did I mention I am also turning gray? It is because I *adore* this woman who thinks of love in this way. I Said to Poetry I said to Poetry:"I'm finished with you." Having to almost die before some wierd light comes creeping through is no fun. "No thank you, Creation, no muse need apply.

"Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender." -Alice Walker (1983)     Alice Walker was born in 1944 in Eatonton, Ga.  She was blinded in one eye from an accidental gunshot wound when she was eight. Alice then isolated herself from all the other kids because she says, "I no longer felt like the little girl I was.  I felt old, and because I felt I was unpleasant to look at, filled with shame. I retreated into solitude, and read stories and began to write poems."     In 1967, Alice got married to a white civil rights lawyer.  A year after that, she gave birth to Rebecca, but it was not untill she began teaching that her writing carrer took off.  In 1973, she published her first book of stories, In Love and Trouble.     She has been influenced by her travel experience in Africa, her memories of the Civil Rights Movement and other authors such as Flannery O'Conner and Zora Neale Hurston.  Alice once quoted, "My feeling is that Zora Neale Hurston is probably one of the most misunderstood, least appreciated writers of this century.  Which is a pity.  She is great.  A writer of courage, and incredible humor, with poetry in every line." Some might say the same about Alice Walker.

Alice Walker was born on February 9, 1944, in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and last child of Willie Lee and Minnie Lou Grant Walker, who were sharecroppers. When Alice Walker was eight years old, she lost sight of one eye when one of her older brothers shot her with a BB gun by accident. In high school, Alice Walker was valedictorian of her class, and that achievement, coupled with a "rehabilitation scholarship" made it possible for her to go to Spelman, a college for black women in Atlanta, Georgia. After spending two years at Spelman, she transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and during her junior year traveled to Africa as an exchange student. She received her bachelor of arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1965. After finishing college, Walker lived for a short time in New York, then from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s, she lived in Tougaloo, Mississippi, during which time she had a daughter, Rebecca, in 1969. Alice Walker was active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, and in the 1990's she is still an involved activist. She has spoken for the women's movement, the anti-apartheid movement, for the anti-nuclear movement, and against female genital mutilation. Alice Walker started her own publishing company, Wild Trees Press, in 1984. She currently resides in Northern California with her dog, Marley. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 for The Color Purple Interview: "Inner Light in a Time of Darkness" (Nov, 2006) - Democracy Now!
