With the remake of the movie “The Color Purple” interest in Alice Walker and her words has surged more than usual.
In her book “The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult” the Mendocino County-based author revisits the film set — describing her personal reactions to the whole experience, in brave, naked detail.
Her writing brilliantly unveils an artist’s pain and joy at seeing her work take on a surprising life of its own. For writers and artists, it is full of valuable insights.
Here is her poem, New Face.
