The Chicken Chronicles: Sitting with the Angels Who Have Returned with My Memori

Here is a glorious, offbeat, compassionate, and "eccentrically inspirational" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) memoir in which Alice Walker shares her experiences raising and caring for a flock of chickens. In pieces that are by turns moving, thoughtful, and utterly captivating, Walker addresses her "girls" directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at a great distance, during her travels to Bali and Dharamsala as an activist for peace and justice. On the way, she invites readers along on a surprising journey of inspiration, strength, and spiritual discovery. <p/>Uplifting, heartbreaking, and memorable, <i>The Chicken Chronicles</i> lets us see a new and deeply personal side of one of the most inspiring writers of our time. It is also a powerful touchstone for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Alice Walker<br><b>Publisher:</b> New Press<br><b>Published:</b> 04/03/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.45lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.40h x 5.20w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781595587749<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Alice Walker</b> is one of the most prolific writers of our time, known for her literary fiction, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>The Color Purple</i>, her many volumes of poetry, and her powerful nonfiction collections.
