Product Details
Hardcover: 64 pages
Publisher: William Morrow; 1 edition (February 14, 1997)
Because of your book in the middle of the night, without warning, my heart was stolen by your poetry. It left a note declaring that it's running away with your words and never coming back ...I can't say that blame her. However, despite her reckless intentions, I find her hiding quite conspicuously in the creases and folds of your next verse. My heart may be enamored but it's never been an expert at hiding. Love, A heartless English teacher.

I loved this book. I have always wanted to explore more poetry by Nikki and this was what I feel is a great start. Love is always a great place to start.

Giovanni has earned honorary degrees and awards. Her present book, Bicycles, is a collection of poems that serve as a companion to her 1997 Love Poems. Her poetry is romantic, bold, and erotic. She writes about the physiological reactions of seeing a lover or loved one. Tastes, hearing, touching and the power of memory are expressed in several pieces. Giovanni emphasizes that love can be experienced everywhere at all times from many sources and it can lift anyone from the depth of tragedy. There is something for everyone in this very sweet and enjoyable collection.

As expected Nikki Giovanni's Love Poems are sassy earthy and speak to the heart. Don't let the simplicity of her poems fool you. These poems give voice to the most intimate of feels to just raw lust. Better than I hoped.

Nikki never disappoints! She's honest, clever, humorous and she loves poetry. What's not to like? I recommend Nikki Giovanni to anyone who loves words and poetry.

I enjoyed a few of these. Giuliani's prose poems and her exploration of racism and the black experience give this collection substance. Other poems in this collection are underwhelming.
