This Is My Century : New and Collected Poems Paperback / softback
by Margaret Walker
Paperback / softback
Description
Margaret Walker became the first African American to win a national literary award when her collection For My People was chosen for the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 1942.
Over the next fifty years she enriched American literature in endless ways through her writings and, in 1993, she received an American Book Award for Lifetime Achievement. This Is My Century is Walker's own defining summation of her career.
Selected by the author herself, the one hundred poems include thirty-seven previously uncollected pieces and the entire contents of three hard-to-find volumes: the award-winning For My People (1942), Prophets for a New Day (1970), and October Journey (1975).
