A Collection Not To Be Missed.
Happily, Maya Angelou isn't the only Black female to grace modern poetry's stage. Nikki Giovanni speaks with a voice informed by her multiple roles as Black woman, lover, mother, teacher, and poet. This collection of 150 poems is arranged chronologically and covers her work from 1968 to the present. Who knows? Maybe the next president will ask Giovanni to compose his...

not a good collection
to be fair, i never really expected much out of giovanni, i just grabbed this book from the library on a whim. if you want to read a poet who write political poems or poems on race, then grab marilyn nelson, gwendolyn brooks, sapphire or ai, and see how it should be done.

A Collection Not To Be Missed.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni: 1968-1995 (Hardcover)
Happily, Maya Angelou isn't the only Black female to grace modern poetry's stage. Nikki Giovanni speaks with a voice informed by her multiple roles as Black woman, lover, mother, teacher, and poet. This collection of 150 poems is arranged chronologically and covers her work from 1968 to the present. Who knows? Maybe the next president will ask Giovanni to compose his inaugural poem! Be sure to check out two other compelling collections: "And Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou and "Selected Poems" by Rita Dove, America's Poet Laureate

Love Poems by Nikki Giovanni,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni: 1968-1995 (Hardcover)
I've never really been into poetry, but decided to "broaden my horizons." I enjoyed this work very much. It was so real; so fresh; so true to me. I had always heard about Nikki Giovanni's writing, and now I'm sold...on her and on poetry.

Living Legend,
By Through Him I Am (DC/Metro Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni: 1968-1995 (Hardcover)
Through a mandatory school project, I was introduced to one of the most prolific and true-to-life literary legends. Giovanni's work is the purest translation of real life into written word that I have ever read. Easily one of my favorite writers
