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 the National 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).

Excellent quality and a perfect fit. I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
Size: Small, Color: Brown, Size: Small, Color: Brown
This trench coat exceeded my expectations. I ordered a size Small and it fits exactly how I wanted—comfortable, elegant, and very flattering. The material feels high-quality and the stitching is well done. What impressed me the most is that, compared to other stores where the prices are much higher, this one offers amazing value for the quality you get. I’ve worn it for special occasions and it looks classy without being too heavy. I honestly have no complaints. If you’re looking for a stylish and affordable trench coat, I recommend this 100%.

Great but poorly packaged.
Size: Large, Color: Brown
Love the coat. Just what I was hoping for good fit. Color was right. The packaging on the other hand was terrible. I hope the wrinkles come out with steam.

A Coat That Doubles as a Physics Experiment
The coat looks fine, but trying it on felt like stepping into a physics experiment. The 100% polyester fabric generated so much static electricity that I honestly felt like a walking electrical generator. If you enjoy shocking yourself and everything around you, this is the coat for you. Otherwise… be prepared.
