Alice Walker's Poetic Style

The 20 century from 1950 to 1980 was when she started the writing. The three major historical event that took place during the time period was the civil right movement,the Vietnam war and Jim crow laws. I think this has influenced her poetry because during those days it was to difficult to do things expecially if your black you didn't have the opportunity or ability to do a every day life style.But for her she have wrote books and use them and took them like if they were very important. Such as her poem "A poem traveled down my arm",is a very creative and descriptive books which variaty of poems.Which has different mood and theme. She is very smart women to take the time to write poem like this because this is black history month and she is making all black people seem like yes we are part of this nation we have the ability we can do this. I think she should be proud about her poems like the way I am because her poems are catchy and meanful and all her poems sends a little message from all of it.Using all her knowledge and using all the skill she have to write a poem she talks about whats around her background and changes around to a poem shape and I believe when it spaces below because it talks about anothor event. However the poem is descriptive and makes sense.If I had the opportunity to ask her a question I would ask her how your poems help other peoples ablity and life actions and how it help you?
