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).
