The poetry of Nikki Giovanni has spurred movements, turned hearts
and informed generations. She's been hailed as a firebrand, a
radical, a courageous activist who has spoken out on the sensitive
issues that touch our national consciousness, including race and
gender, social justice, protest, violence in the home and in the
streets, and why black lives matter. One of America's most
celebrated poets looks inward in this powerful collection, a
rumination on her life and the people who have shaped her. As
energetic and relevant as ever, Nikki now offers us an intimate,
affecting, and illuminating look at her personal history and the
mysteries of her own heart. In A Good Cry, she takes us into her
confidence, describing the joy and peril of aging and recalling the
violence that permeated her parents' marriage and her early life.
She pays homage to the people who have given her life meaning and
joy: her grandparents, who took her in and saved her life; the
poets and thinkers who have influenced her; and the students who
have surrounded her. Nikki also celebrates her good friend, Maya
Angelou, and the many years of friendship, poetry, and
kitchen-table laughter they shared before Angelou's death in 2014.
