Description
Relearning the Alphabet contains an impressive new dimension of thought: the Vietnam War, Biafra, ghetto riots, the battle of the Berkeley People’s Park in which she took part. The loss of a friend’s child, a snail’s vision, a flea from a loving dog, her responses to nature—the personal—are now public.
Excerpt
I go stumbling
(head turned)
back to my origins:
(if that’s where I’m going)
to joy, my Jerusalem.
