The Chicken Chronicles

I know Alice Walker is an icon and a national treasure and for me this book for the most part was enjoyable. However there are times that I feel an author, especially popular authors, throw some “stuff” together just to see if people will actually buy it.

Mostly semi-entertaining essays about the chickens she keeps on her 40 acre farm north of San Francisco and the spiritual/metaphysical knowledge and joy she receives from them. However there is an oddly out of place paen to Michael Jackson after his death right in the middle of the metaphorical chicken pen - somehow my mind can't reconcile the whole schmeer.
