Title: Walking Back up Depot Street
Subtitle: Poems
First published: 1999
Description: In Pratt's fourth collection of poetry, Walking Back Up Depot Street, we are led by powerful images into what is both a story of the segregated rural South and the story of a white woman named Beatrice who is leaving that home for the postindustrial North. As Beatrice searches for the truth behind the public story - the official history - of the land of her childhood, she hears and sees the unknown past come alive.

She struggles to free herself from the lies she was taught while growing up - and she finds others who are also on this journey.
