Summary
The eminent photographer, composer, filmmaker, and writer reflects on his personal life and professional achievements, describing his disadvantaged childhood on a Kansas prairie, his Depression-era years on the brink of starvation, the prestigious awards he has received, and more. 25,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Acclaimed photographer, filmmaker, composer, novelist, and memoirist, Gordon Parks has participated in, been witness to, and documented many of the major events in the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries.

In A Hungry Heart, Parks reflects on the people and events that shaped him: from growing up poor on the Kansas prairie to crisscrossing the country on the North Coast Limited; documenting poverty and injustice in Chicago to doing fashion spreads for Vogue; photographing black revolutionaries to writing, composing the soundtrack for, and directing the Hollywood movie version of his novel The Learning Tree. More than a self-portrait of the artist, A Hungry Heart is a striking account of an American era.
